TopicThe <topic> element is the top-level DITA
element for a single-subject topic or article. Other top-level DITA elements
that are more content-specific are <concept>, <task>, <reference>,
and <glossary>.
To support applications that are namespace-aware, DITA
DTDs and Schemas provide the following namespaced declarations for topic,
and for topic-level elements derived from topic:
ditaarch:DITAArchVersion="1.0"
xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/"
In DTDs, the "ditaarch" prefix is parameterized to enable future
specialization.
