Thanks, but my main concern is the limited content model of abstract.

The issue with para is more or less my own taste. ;) I wouldn't touch

para, because for some it could still be useful.

Yes, topic could also be used, however, it can't be nested.

Do you use your XIncludes with XPointer to skip topics or do you apply

a XSLT transformation? Just curious. ;)

 I xinclude the entire topic, resolve the xincludes while generating the profiled xml, then I simply delete the <topic> and </topic> tags with a shell script before processing the profiled xml further. :)

So the topic is essentially a wrapper for me.
