    Robert,
    I would welcome a general table of the contains/contained by for each of
    the doctypes. That would be easier to review than the embedded
    information in the elements.

    I was also startled to see how often it popped up. The main reason for
    this actually came from domains, rather than from topic types. For
    example, the keyword element may appear in many places within a topic,
    including inside the  element. Keyword can also be used inside maps;
    however, maps do not have the highlighting domain, so  is not
    available. Thus, the model differs between maps and topics. Likewise,
    anything that can contain keywords and appears in both maps and topics
    will have this problem -- in maps,
