That is a stylistic issue. A specList will typically list all the 
elements discussed within a given section. Sometimes (quite often in the 
Header) sections are organised in terms of the hierarchic structure but 
this is definitely not necessarily the case: you can group the elements 
discussed in a section in any way that makes sense (as for example in 
the Core chapter). You can also choose not to discuss all the elements 
which might appear as content for the elements being discussed -- lots 
of elements have a content model of paraContent: you wouldn't want all 
the components of para Content to be listed anew each time each such 
element is discussed.

I've commented on the ticket.
