<note>
A note is information that expands on or calls attention to a particular point.
Usage information
The nature of a note (for example,
caution, danger, or warning) is indicated through the values
selected for the @type attribute.
The values danger, notice, and warning have meanings that are based on ANSI Z535 and ISO 3864 regulations.
If @type is set to
other, the value of the
@othertype attribute can be used as a label for
the note. Many processors will require additional information on
how to process the value.
Rendering expectations
Processors SHOULD render a
label for notes. The content of the label depends on the values of
the @type attribute.
A note is typically rendered in a way that stands out from the surrounding content.

@othertype- Specifies an alternate note type. This value is used as the
