This worries me a little.  What's the purpose of FONT?  It's being
dropped from HTML (i.e. it's only in the "transitional" version of
HTML 4), so why create a legacy that will need supporting later?

I think we could also do with a definition or convention for
referencing things defined in the XSchema.  It would be nice to have
something less verbose and more robust than <A HREF="#DOC"><CODE
CLASS="xml-element">DOC</CODE></A> each time you want to mention your
DOC element.  A specialised reference type, with a choice of IDREF or
extra-document linking would be welcome.
