In the example, the term "photo" conveys the "type" of the resource
file (other examples could be of type "voice", "map", "seismometer
trace" etc)<==

Content "type" should not be defined by the content of the element, it
should only be defined by a "type" element or type attribute such as
'<resourceDesc type="photo">...' and there should be an enumeration of the
allowable types (like photo, sound, map, seismometer trace, etc.)
