About http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/

 The document often refers to the notion of block or inline paradigm but it doesn't define it anywhere in the document.

 For example, the following sentence:

  "This element defines content to be block-level but 
  imposes no other presentational idioms on the content, 
  which may otherwise be controlled from a style sheet."

 - What is a block level content? 
 - What is a inline level content?
 - What are their respective meanings?

 It is particulary important because some elements which are purely "semantics" are duplicated because of these two notions. See my other mail on the topic: "Semantics only" elements
