Is there a reason why the content model for the <required-cleanup> element is different for the various information types: concept, task, and reference?

However, when trying this in XMetaL 5.5 (file-system based outside of SDL Trisoft), we noticed the following behavior: it is supported on concept, but not on task nor reference. So the following is VALID : < concept id="concept_D764BE690ADC455C80793C0A5004EBFF"> <title>…</title> <shortdesc>… </shortdesc> <conbody> <required-cleanup>…</required-cleanup> </conbody> </concept> And the following is INVALID : < reference id="reference_0950023AD955446AB38164F2E0291EA5"> <title>...</title> <shortdesc>...</shortdesc> <refbody> <required-cleanup>…</required-cleanup> </refbody> </reference> When looking in the .MOD files, we noticed that conbody.content references body.cnt which contains required-cleanup. But the refbody.content and taskbody.content don’t. Could you find out what’s behind this?
