Ok, fair point. if you can write an unambiguous description of what it does, it can be implemented. So far, its description
says "containing textual nodes”, which I don’t think is unambiguous enough to code against…..

I assume we won’t use <mixedContent> in the source of the Guidelines? in which case the implementation
can stay theoretical for a bit anyway. Maybe it should be Exercise 2 in my ongoing challenge of “learn to hack
the TEI ODD stylesheets”….
