Proposal to increase the level of metadata available for authors to log decisions made during content authoring

Proposal to increase the level of metadata available for authors to log decisions made during content authoring

This is a subject that would be helpful to include Jim in the discussions, as he has some definite opinions on how to improve the metadata in this area.

Some suggestions would be to make more detailed information available for authors to describe their reasons for inactivation (especially in those areas where currently they are forced to use inactivation reason codes that aren't completely representative of the reasons in that instance).
