4.7.1 Direct element constructors Normalization rules make use of italicized variables called ElementContent. By convention, an italicized variable is supposed to refer to a BNF nonterminal in some grammar, but there is not such nonterminal. I realize that you wish to have a single rule that summarizes the multiple kinds of element content, but you should not assume that creating an italicized ElementContent constitutes a formal definition. I haven't checked, but I suspect that some of the other italicized variables in this section, such as AttributeList, are not BNF nonterminals either. This comment also applies to section 8.1.5 "Extension", where we also find the undefined AttributeAll.
I believe this is editorial. - Jerome
All of the corresponding non-terminal are now defined with proper grammar productions. - Jerome
