As I have already said I have no strong preference on this. Using
element content seemed more convenient for me.

Nothing special, reference is simply enclosed in application element, so
after transclusion is processed you will get
<application>FooWiz</application>
Also, while it is not shown in examples, def element can contain any
markup. So you can also have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook">
<info>
<title>Transclusions demo</title>
<definitions>
<def name="product-version">3.14</def>
<def name="product-name"><application>FooWiz</application></def>
<def name="corp-name">ACME Inc.</def>
</definitions>
</info>
<para>The latest version of <ref>product-name</ref>
from <ref>corp-name</ref> is <ref>product-version</ref>.</para>
</article>
Hope it is more clear now.
