Part of my objection is the expense of figuring out what content model applies, but most of it is that I would like a label to tell me what something *is*. (This is different from what something *applies to*, which usually is context-sensitive.) On the other hand, the cases put forward both by the OO community (Matthew, me) and the well-formed community (Evan) are good use cases. My gut reaction to this sort of fence sitting is to not support it and add it later if there is demand. (Along these same lines, the best hiring advice I ever heard was that if you only think a candidate can do the job but are not really sure, don't hire them -- you'll almost invariably regret it.) -- Ron
