<doc-type> Document Type
The NISO STS document model may be used to describe many kinds of standards documents,
not just standards and adoptions of standards. It is a guiding principle of this Tag
Set that any standards document that can use the modeling rules for a “standard” may
be tagged according to this Tag Set. This <doc-type> element names the type of document, for example, a standard (“standard”), a specification (“spec”), or a technical report (“tr”).
