XML requires that you put the #PCDATA first in the list:
(#PCDATA | link | see | ...)*

(Learned a new word today: "imbricate". Thanks!) The parens don't overlap
(the inner ones match and the outer ones match), so I don't see the problem
in this example. If you had something like ( ( ) ) ), where they didn't
match up, then you'd have a problem.
