(nonexistent) Elements "value" and "values" might be interesting too? Stuff like http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html#colors http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#display-prop could be marked up like <variablelist> <varlistentry> <term> <property>display</property> </term> <listitem> <values> <value>inline</value> <value>block</value> <value>list-item</value> <value>run-in</value> <!-- ... --> </values> </listitem> </varlistentry> <varlistentry> <term> <property>color</property> </term> <listitem> <values> <value>inherit</value> <value><replaceable>color</replaceable></value> </values> </listitem> </varlistentry> <varlistentry> <term> <property>foo</property> </term> <listitem> <!-- single value --> <value>bar</value> </listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist> Disclaimers :) a) Perhaps elements exist to do this in a similiarly concise way, and I missed them. b) DocBook will someday be even larger than now. c) Some might say this is too close to being modeling.
