text
The text element associates no semantics with its content.
It exists to serve as a container for text where a container is needed
(e.g., for conref, or for restricted content models in specializations).
Unlike ph, text cannot contain images. Unlike keyword, text does not
imply keyword-like semantics. The text element contains only text
data, or nested text elements. All universal attributes are available
on text.

These models represent only the default document types distributed by OASIS.
