ACTION: Steven to add insertions to the serialisation of attributes
Bethan: #250?
Steven: Already an action for me
Issue #254 Extend the prolog to support arbitrary metadata
Steven: There is also the issue of the format of the prolog, and of pragmas
John: You've introduced chardata, why is that different from string?
Norm: I'll look again.
Steven: I saw people at Balisage using {[...]} for pragmas
… why don't we make the prolog a pragma.
Nico: Would we put the version into the pragma?
Steven: That would be a good place
Norm: I will think about it.
Bethan: If there is a version declaration, it would come at the top, right?
Steven: Yes.
Bethan: would it be worth adding an issue that includes a link to pragmas.
Norm: I have created the issue, you can add a link
