That seems to handle the specific example and not the class of all possible
instances (which hasn't been defined here).

If I was modelling this data in Java I would use a List of Objects each of
which is either a String or a StrongElement or an EmphElement or one of the
various other things that's allowed to appear. Alternatively I might use a
TextNode rather than a String, if I want to hold information other than its
content.

Of course Java (even Java 5) wouldn't give me any strong typing on that.
