Note
The who attribute may be used to point to any other element, but will typically specify a respStmt or person element elsewhere in the header, identifying the person responsible for the change and their role in making it.
It is recommended that changes be recorded with the most recent first. The status attribute may be used to indicate the status of a document following the change documented.
