[oXygen-user] Missing booklists

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Matt,

Sorry about that, you are right, I should have checked first.

Indeed <booklists> is allowed in any place in the <frontmatter>.

I looked in the code and it seems that we decided at some point not to 
present in the DITA Maps Manager's contextual menu possible child 
elements which were valid to append but which did not allow the @href 
attribute on them (the @href attribute is prohibited in a <booklists>).

Probably we did this because when you decide to add such an element from 
the contextual menu the dialog used to insert a topic reference pops up, 
dialog which is usually used to set an @href reference to the topic. 
I'll add an issue for this and try to handle things better on our side.

Regards,
Radu

This means that Oxygen proposes in that list only elements which can be inserted as the last children of <frontmatter>. And as you already have child topicrefs (or
