Subject: [boost] [boostbook] Unsupported doc elements.

I was perusing Robert Ramey's very informative blincubator.com when I ran
across this:

"Though BoostBook specifies a large collection of tags to characterize
documentation elements, the large majority of these are not used by Boost
library documentation It seems that that they've been included in the
hopes of being available for future use. This would be OK except for the
fact that the attaching all these tags to one's documentation would be a
huge job - which would yield no benefit with the current document
preparation system.

It's not clear from the BoostBook documentation which tags are used/useful
and which should not be bothered with. This leaves one with questions
about under what circumstances each tag should be used."

Is the situation involving unsupported documentation elements still true?
If so, can someone knowledgeable with the issue in the least identify
which elements are supported and which are not?

Any clarification appreciated,

Mostafa
