<draft-comment author="EBP" time="23 May 2017">
  <p>Where's the usage information for this section?</p>

Processors might render the information from the highlighted attributes at viewing or publishing time. Authors might use the value of the @disposition attribute to track the work that remains to be done on a content collection.
