One further question here. If you don't tie an element type name to a
content model, how do you tie universal element type names to code, as
you suggested in [1]:

   "The default, simple, obvious way of arranging for software
    module X to process element Y is to advertise that X processes
    elements which are in the NSx namespace."

Or do you only do this for context-free elements?
