Dave is being more precise than I  -- technically, I erred when I said, 
"...where LINE WIDTH elements can occur (anywhere in the Picture Body 
outside of APS, or in an APS body within APS)".  There are some other 
details about minor states, as Dave said.  The CGM State Table is the 
definitive, detailed, unambiguous source for the CGM standard (and the 
WebCGM profile).
