[Bug 11228] minor editorial improvement : definition of particles

Sandy Gao and I have discussed this and come to an agreement that two minor
additions are desirable: 

(1) After the first word, insert "typically", so the paragraph begins
"Particles typically correspond ..."

(2) Optionally, after the bulleted list insert the sentence 

    There are situations where particles do not correspond to any of 
    these elements. For example, when complex types are extended 
    particle are sometimes synthesized whose function is to contain 
    both the content model of the base type and the particles 
    specified in the extension.

If we can shorten or simplify that closing sentence, it would be good.  Its
main purpose is to explain to the inquisitive reader why "typically" has been
used in the introduction; it is not to explain the details of complex type
extension or anything else, but I am finding it hard to hit the right level of
specificity without inviting the reader off on a pointless excursion through
XSD minutiae.
