Status

Status identifies the editorial or publication status of the RefSect3.

Publication status might be used to control formatting (for example, printing a "draft" watermark on drafts) or processing (perhaps a document with a status of "final" should not include any components that are not final).

Examples

See RefSect1 and RefSect2 in RefEntry for analogous examples.
