<para>
<sgmltag class="attribute">Status</sgmltag> identifies the editorial or publication 
status of the <sgmltag>RefSect2</sgmltag>.
</para>
<para>
Publication status might be used to control formatting (for example,
printing a <quote>draft</quote> watermark on drafts) or processing (perhaps
a document with a status of <quote>final</quote> should not include any
components that are not final).
