This comment was submitted by Jeff Beck on behalf of the BITS Working Group.

Request: Please make the attributes for <isbn> more like those for <issn>. Get rid of @pub-type (which is now deprecated in favor of @publication-format) and add @content-type.

Discussion: Here are the current <isbn> attributes:
pub-type CDATA #IMPLIED
specific-use CDATA #IMPLIED

Here are the requested <isbn> attributes:
publication-format CDATA #IMPLIED
content-type CDATA #IMPLIED
specific-use CDATA #IMPLIED
Submitter Proposed Solution
We request that:

1. @publication-format and @content type attributes be added to <isbn>

2. The @pub-type attribute be retained, although it may be deprecated.
Developer Response
I don't see @content-type on <issn> right now. If we're going to add this to <isbn>, I think we should add to <issn> as well.
