    Hi,
    
    This may be a really stupid question, but I'm trying to figure out why an
    <option> element can be put into <userinput>, but not an <arg> element.
    Since user input is often the specific rendition of a command, I would
    think the basic elements of a cmdsynopsis could be used there.
    
    Given the amount of thought this committee has typically put into crafting
    the element definitions, it seems as though there must have been a good
    reason for doing this. But I can't figure it out now, and not having it
    available is problematical for me.
    
    Any ideas?
    
    
    Nancy
