PropIdentifies an attribute, and usually values in the attribute, to
take an action on. The attribute must be a conditional processing attribute:
platform, product, audience, props. and otheprops; or a specialization of
the props attribute. There can be at most one occurrence of a "prop" element
with no attribute specified (setting a default action for every prop element),
at most one for each attribute with no value specified (setting the default
action for a specific attribute), and at most one with each attribute value
specification (to avoid conflicting actions for the same attribute value).

are excluded). passthrough Include the content in output, and preserve the attribute value as part
of the output stream for further processing by a runtime engine, for example
runtime filtering based on individual user settings. The value should be preserved
in whatever syntax is required by the target runtime. Values that are not
explicitly passed through should be removed from the output stream, even though
the content is still included. flag Include and flag the content on output (if the content has not been excluded).
