Specialize Task Topic with New Element: Start at Topic Level and Not Task Level?

I want to create a type of task topic that contains an element that the DITA model task topic does not seem to have. My first thought is to start with a task topic and specialize it to contain the new element. But then I read that a specialization must be more restrictive than its parent.  So if I want to add a new element that does not exist in the parent task topic, does that mean I have to create a specialization at the same level as the model DITA task topic instead of as a child of the DITA task topic?

Adding PDF document properties from Bookmap metadata

During my presentation on producing PDFs from Bookmaps, the question came up as to whether the OT fills in the PDF document properties from the information in bookmeta. The answer is that this doesn't happen with the base OT.

However, one of the attendees, Simcha Gralla, sent me the following information about how this information can be pushed to the PDF.My thanks to hm for sharing this information with all of us. Basically you'll have to write an XSLT to handle how the different processors handle providing that information.

How to creat plugin

Hi guys,

        I am working with DITA OT. And I want to creat a DITA OT plugin. But I don't know how to do. Is anyone know how to do this? Or are there some documentations about this?

       In the plugin dir there are some plug-ins, I had read some of the plugin.xml but, I still don't know how to do this.

        Thanks a lot.
