 When developing the documentation (#30) for NeXus base classes (as defined
 by the NXDL), it seems valuable to identify a specific revision of the
 NXDL instance in the DocBook documentation for each base class.

 One way to do this is to add the SVN Id or Revision keyword as an
 attribute to the definition element.  An existing definition element
 (example from NXaperture)

 {{{
 <definition xmlns="http://definition.nexusformat.org/schema/3.1"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://definition.nexusformat.org/schema/3.1
 ../nxdl.xsd"
     name="NXaperture"
     type="group" extends="../nxdl">
 }}}

 would change to


 {{{
 <definition xmlns="http://definition.nexusformat.org/schema/3.1"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://definition.nexusformat.org/schema/3.1
 ../nxdl.xsd"
     name="NXaperture"
     svnid="$Id: NXaperture.nxdl.xml 218 2008-12-17 20:41:06Z Pete Jemian
 $"
     type="group" extends="../nxdl">

 }}}

 With this change, the {{{definition/@svnid}}} could be added to the
 DocBook documentation to indicate which revision of the NXDL instance was
 used to generate the documentation presented.
