Revision

RevisionFlag

RevisionFlag is intended only for simple revision management: to track the entire history of a document use a proper revision control system. Use RevisionFlag for indicating changes from one version to the next, no more. As you and your interchange partners review a particular revision, you can use the Off value to indicate that a subelement of a Changed, Added, or Deleted element has been agreed upon.

UserLevel indicates the level of user experience to which element applies.

Vendor

Vendor indicates the computer vendor to which the element applies. There is no default.
