I'm not sure I understand this comment. Can you clarify?

Yuxiao's anwser: could you give a short example for this use case? I 
cannot think out a case immediately.

The separation of content and presentation is discussed in detail
in section 4.3.

Yuxiao's comment: I believe 4.5.1 is a summary of good practice of using 
XML format. It is sensible to put it here together instead of letting 
readers looking back.
