There is no reason for specifying this. ITS is used in host languages
and they are already providing their own means for some data categories

This is now described in RELAX NG schema -- its20.rnc. Basically foreign
elements can be used only inside its:rules. Foreign attributes can be
used on any element defined in ITS.
