In the W3C XML 1.0 specification there is a validity constraint on 
mixed content (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-mixed-content) that 
says:

"Validity constraint: No Duplicate Types

The same name must not appear more than once in a single mixed-
content declaration."

I interpret this as saying you cannot repeat a tag inside a mixed 
content declaration. So the following is not allowed:

<AA>some text
  <BB>Blah</BB>
  some mixed content
  <BB>more blah</BB>
</AA>

Why is this disallowed? In HTML you can legally mark-up many 
different parts within a paragraph with bold tags. For a document model
isn't this is essential?
