Thanks for that -- I has no idea I needed to do it. I was searching 
madly for some file in which I was supposed to mention the tag name, and 
finding nothing.

I am on the other side of the fence from you on this, but that's not why 
I didn't include it; I just don't know what the consensus is about which 
way to go with this, and I didn't want to make that scale of change to 
Raffaele's original documentation without a sense that it was generally 
supported. Personally I don't think it's necessary, because I think it's 
up to the processing agent to decide what to do with the 
externally-linked file. If we do provide examples using e.g. 
@type="transclude", we'll have to explain exactly what we mean by that, 
and suggest alternative possible values that don't mean transclusion; 
and I don't know what they might be.

I found a bunch of those and changed them, but I guess I missed some. 
Now fixed.

I noticed that too, but I wasn't sure what it might be replaced with. 
Perhaps it should be in a <figDesc>, outside the <head>. What do others 
think?

Cheers,
