A Boolean value to indicate whether the provision includes blanket amendments, ie
general amendments to legislation as a whole rather than a specific enactment
A Boolean value to indicate if there are concurrent versions of the same provision.
This is presently used for concurrent geographic extent versions but may be used in
future to indicate other versions of the same provision
A boolean value indicator as to whether the provision should be displayed or is in
force, i.e. if the status is prospective, then it will not display as in force. Similarly
with the status set to repealed, then this will prevent the provision from displaying
when viewed from high level
Should be used to indicate the main language of the content contained by the element
upon which the attribute is appearing. Values should be taken from the ISO 639 standard.
This attribute should be used where the language is different from the main language

Is used to indicate whether white space is significant in the contained content and
can contain the value ‘default’ or ‘preserve’. For a value of ‘default’, it is left
