Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-3482:
-----------------------------------------

Michael,

With regard to 

"""
- In the gray boxes, replace "The <yxz> element has text content." with "The <yxz> element may contain character data." 
"""

My concern is that every element that is not an empty element may contain character data.  Whitespace counts as character data in the way that term is used in [XML 1.0].

With RNG one can talk about having character data strings that satisfies a <text /> pattern (or a datatype), perhaps, and that may be a way to distinguish the character data that matters with regard to providing text to a paragraph.

> Part 1, section 6.1.1 -- We say "Text character data contained...". Does this mean anything different than "character data", which is the term we use elsewhere? 
> In general, I'm not getting the distinction between "character data", "character content", "text content" and "text character data".
> The XML term is "character data" defined as: "All text that is not markup constitutes the character data of the document".
