Hi,

You can add custom attributes to DITA elements, however to remain DITA-compliant, you will need to do this by "specializing" an existing DITA attribute. You might find the following tutorials to be useful: http://www.xiruss.org/tutorials/dita-specialization/

P.S. The forums on this site get very little traffic and we sometimes lose posts to the spam filter. A better forum for questions on DITA is http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/.
