This is strictly for use in MS Desc, right? not intended as a general purpose
<object> parallel to <name>, for instance? the sentence "that is it is
more flexible way to handle descriptions of objects in running prose
(usually in the section), which allows multiple objects for a single text,"
is confusing me a bit.
but assuming so, then the name bothers me. In the example given:
<support> <material>Parchment<material> <objectType>roll<objectType> with
<material>silk</material> <objectType>ribbons<objectType>
the <objectType> really looks weird to my eyes. I think, "why not <materialType>?"
<form> might be better. but dict hijacked that.
I'd stick with <object> meself.
