In article <430B5D83.70509@objfac.com> you write:
>Elements don't have kinds or types, they just have names.

But note that the XML spec, following SGML, uses the term "element
type" to mean "element name", or "elements with a given name".  This
is consistent with DTDs, which constrain the content of elements
according to their name.
