Correct, you got my point. You can add as many tags (or elements)
you want, but than the manual couldnīt be build with the XML source
with the original DocBook.

Most elements have a default rendering scheme. We can only
standardize the names of attribute names and hope someone have time
making the customizing, so that the rendering looks better then the
default.
