RE: [dita]
Sounds as if <ph> should be a
specialization of <text>.  We are probably trapped by the past, however. 


 

I wonder of <text> should be a
specialization of anything or just a new addition to the base element set for
topics and maps.

“text” is a
specialization of phrase that serves two purposes:

1.  
Allows content model
constraints (e.g., (data, text) rather than (data | ph))

2.  
Makes the semantic
clear (i.e., just a container of PCDATA with no other meaning or presentation
expectation

What is the difference between <ph>
and <text>?  Are both needed?
