Up till now, I've been using the @othertype attribute in the <container> element in order to accommodate finding aids that assign "box-folder-item" markup to individual items in collections. Looking through the 2002 DTD, I see that this attribute has been discontinued. What avenues are available for doing this sort of markup? In the 2002 Tab Library there is an example of a finding aid with some item-level description; however, it assumes one item per folder, so only box-folder numbers are used. Some of our finding aids describe multiple items in a single container, so each item is numbered separately. For instance: Folder 1--Item 1, Folder 1--Item 2, etc. Has anyone found a way to handle this, in the absence of the othertype attribute?
