#3 can be provided automatically, so there is not much point
rearranging CO to suit.

#2 would depend a lot on a really succesful class reworking. and anyway,
it seems arsy-versy. the chapter should divide up the elements into
interesting groups ("linking", "naming", whatever), and the class system
should assist people to follow it.

personally, I'd cut this chapter down to the inline elements, move "lists"
to the next chapter, and find a new home for verse and drama.

6.10 "reference systems" seems somehow out of place too, can that walk
to chapter 14?
