I just removed the parentheticals.

I changed the sentence that described the "insertion mode" as being a 
"flag" and changed it to "state variable".

This leaves only (I think) the "content model flag". Not sure what to 
rename that one to. "content model state" conveys the wrong concept, 
"content model state variable" is too long, "content model" is wrong, 
"content model mode" is too similar to "insertion mode".
