- paraContainer used inside non-statutory-material to hold the actual textual material such as a poem.
- graphicA pointer to a file containing a graphic and information about the graphic. The <graphic> element uses attributes that point to an external graphic file such as a photograph of a person or a drawing of a warning symbol. The attributes and their values have been modeled on GPO attributes. The actual graphic is usually stored in an external file and merely named by the attributes of this element. The element itself would be empty, but it is used to contain a brief description of the graphic (See element <graphic-description>). This description can be used for searching, to display in place of the graphic in an online system, or to be read by a voice synthesis device for the visually-impaired who cannot see the graphic.
