9 What about the restrict attribute, which is already present in the
10 metadata DTD?

12 >From http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/metadata.dtd :

14 "The restrict attribute, this attribute specifies restrictions on
15 the applicability of tags on versions. The format of this attribute is
16 equal to the format of DEPEND lines in ebuilds. There is one special
17 value though: restrict="*". A tag that specifies this only applies if
18 there are no other tags that apply.

20 "For required tags, there must be either an unrestricted version, or a
21 version that is default restricted."
