+ From a localization point of view, many XML vocabularies include markup
+ which requires special attention, since the markup is associated with a
+ specific type of content. Examples:
+ 
+  a. elements which are associated with embedded/binary graphics
+  
+  b. elements which are associated with specific text styles (e.g. underline and bold)
+ 
+  c. elements which are associated with linking (e.g. the "a" in HTML)
+ 
+  d. elements which are associated with lists
+ 
+  e. elements which are associated with tables
+ 
+  f. elements which are associated with with generated content (e.g. an element that fires a query to a database in order to pull in the data for a product catalogue)
+ 
+ Some reasons why this type of markup may require special attention:
+ 
+  a. the localization tool may be able to render specific text styles in a standard way (e.g. increased font weight for bold)
+ 
+  b. embedded binary images may have to follow a specific workflow
+ 
+  c. content generation queries may have to be adapted
+ 
+ Since it is hardly imaginable that all content developers will be able
+ to work with the same elements and attributes for this specific type of
+ content, the ITS should include markup which allows people to specify
+ the purpose of specific elements. 
+ 
+ = Notes =
+ 
+ For the specific case of linking something to look at already exists:
+ HLink (cf. ["http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-hlink-20020913/"])
+ 
+ = Quick Guideline Thoughts =
+ 
+ The purpose specification could look like the following example:
+ 
+ <its:purposeSpec>
+  <servesPurpose origVoc="img" its="graphic"/>
+ 
+  <servesPurpose origVoc="em" its="inline"/>
+ 
+  <servesPurpose origVoc="b" its="inline"/>
+ </its:purposeSpec>
+ 
+ Here, we specify that the original vocabulary (e.g. HTML) maps to ITS.
+ The "img" in HTML e.g. maps to "graphic" in ITS.
