"Architectural forms" came via SGML and HyTime, and might be better
named "abstract trees" or "annotations".

The idea is to say how your instance document relates to some other
"virtual" document.

One use case is "which element or attribute content represents a link"

Another is "which elements break phrases and which don't" for the
purpose of indexing or generating result snippets.
