I really don't like the idea of two separate elements. What I'd prefer 
is that Pure ODD enable us to define the content model of elements based 
on context; that this be convertible into models based on complexTypes 
in XSD; that it be convertible into Schematron in RelaxNG; and that DTDs 
leap into the dustbin of history.

I know this is a bit distant, but I would like us to consider whether it 
should be one of the aims of moving to P6.
