    <thetext>The square brackets delimiting the definition of an HTML element are a bit odd.

    <thetext>For info, the XSLT spec now does multi-line definitions like this (Note the open=&quot;true&quot;):

&lt;p&gt;&lt;termdef id=&quot;dt-potentially-consuming&quot; term=&quot;potentially consuming&quot; open=&quot;true&quot;&gt;An
   &lt;termref def=&quot;dt-operand&quot;/&gt; is &lt;term&gt;potentially
   consuming&lt;/term&gt; if at least one of the following conditions
                                 applies:&lt;/termdef&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                           &lt;olist&gt;
                              &lt;item&gt;
                                 &lt;p&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;
                              &lt;/item&gt;
                              &lt;item&gt;
                                 &lt;p&gt;....&lt;/p&gt;
                              &lt;/item&gt;
                           &lt;/olist&gt;
&lt;p role=&quot;closetermdef&quot;/&gt;

and I think all the DTD and stylesheet support for this is common. It&apos;s a bizarre approach but it was designed to minimize the risk of breaking things.</thetext>

    <thetext>There is a similar problem in
