How about machine converted material which would have been/
may have been originally 'hand authored'.
E.g. conversion from some other format into XML for
reasons of convenience in further processing.
Is that machine generated or hand authored Mike?
Certainly the schemas in use are those used
primarily for hand authored (dochead) as apposed
to data based.
Perhaps a shade of grey between the black and white?
