Section 4.2.1 of Part 1 of the 19991217 draft refers to the "<schema> element" and the "<include> element." Most people reading the spec will know that of course "<schema>" is not a complete schema element but only the start-tag serving as one of the element's delimiters, but some won't know this, and it will confuse them. I've used "<>" in intra-office e-mail to show that, for example, I'm referring to a foo element and not an actual foo. However, the Courier font used for the words "schema" and "include" in the WD make it clear what is being discussed, and a normative spec should not add to the common confusion among beginners between elements and tags.
