 | | The rules are valuable if you are designing an SGML based system (e.g., an editor, or a database engine), and if you want to be sure that any unit (data, or element) in content may be connected to a single, immutable token in the content model. |
 | | - p DISAMBIGUATION ("signal a problem", mostly from H. Rath) "a" stands for a primitive content token or a unit that represents "declared" content (DATA, EMPTY, ANY), while A and B stand for any content token. |
