[niso-sts] Encoding Bibliography

["Dorothée Stadler doro@xxxxxxxxxxx" <niso-sts-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,
I have a question about how to best encode the Bibliography as part of the
back matter.
To me, the most logical thing to do is use <sec> with @sec-type=bbiblb.
Now I see in the NISO documentation of <sec> that it should be used as
follows:
Within the back matter (<back>
<https://www.niso-sts.org/TagLibrary/niso-sts-TL-1-0-html/element/back.html>)
to tag material that has not been explicitly named as one of the other back
matter components, that is, it is not named as an annex (<app>
<https://www.niso-sts.org/TagLibrary/niso-sts-TL-1-0-html/element/app.html>),
an acknowledgment (<ack>
<https://www.niso-sts.org/TagLibrary/niso-sts-TL-1-0-html/element/ack.html>),
a bibliography (<ref-list>
<https://www.niso-sts.org/TagLibrary/niso-sts-TL-1-0-html/element/ref-list.ht
ml>), etc.

I am now confused. Should the bibliography always be encoded using <ref-list>,
as it is also currently done by ISO using the ISOSTS? If so, why do we even
have an @sec-type=bbiblb?
Any enlightenment would be much appreciated!
Kind regards
