OK, that's cool.

Next question: what about <seg>?

At present, its content model is macro.paraContent. All the other members of
model.segLike have a content model of macro.phraseSeq (the difference is that
macro.paraContent permits additionally members of model.inter such as lists)

I think this is anomalous. Can anyone come up with a specific use case where a
<seg> should need to include things that can appear between paragraphs? note
that it cannot currently contain paragraphs!
