It should however be clarified that here the word "element" is not being used in its precise technical sense and there is no implication that a Web resource conforming to these guidelines must be in XML. You could also substitute terms such as "Web content" or "the content" for "a Web resource" if desired. My larger point is that we need to agree on exactly which technical terms we plan to use throughout the guidelines, supply appropriate definitions, then use the terms consistently.
