It's in the new DTD for HTML+ I recently mailed out. You can get
another copy from ftp://15.254.100.100/pub/htmlplus.dtd.txt

The idea originated in a phone call with Tim Berners-Lee and
I have yet to write it up formally. I hope to make the next
draft of the HTML+ spec available via the Web rather than as
a large postscipt file and expect to complete this write up
by mid-February.
