    Subject: Allowing for multi-level specialization in topicmeta


    I just got a case where I needed to extend topicmeta (enhancedmeta) in order to include extra metadata to a map. The obvious solution was to specialize from topicmeta/othermeta. However, othermeta cannot contain other elements or text and therefore does not meet the requirements for a multi-level specialization. I would suggest that we change the model to othermeta (#PCDATA | othermeta)* in order to allow for multilevel specilization:
     
    <othermetagroup>
        <othermetaitem/>
        <othermetaitem/>
    <othermetagroup>
     
    For my immediate needs,  I'll specialize from keywords/keyword in order to get 2 levels, but I am breaking away from the semantics.
