allow article element inside set?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

We have a DocBook RFE requesting that we allow article inside set:

We discussed this item at the October meeting, but decided we wanted input 
from more TC members before making a decision.  Here are the minutes from 
the meeting:

 New RFEs
    3571149   Allow Article inside Set

The TC discussed this new RFE. Larry was concerned about
putting elements from different hierarchical levels together.
Bob mentioned that forcing articles into a book requires
adding a book title, which may not be appropriate for
unrelated articles.  Also, DocBook has long said that
book and article are top-level elements, so creating a
set that mixes them could be useful. Some were concerned
about rendering.  The TC was generally not opposed to
the change, but we want to get more TC input.

My action item was to initiate a discussion of this topic on the TC mailing 
list before the next meeting.  Any thoughts?
