difficult (or impossible).]]]
   
Is that a block, in terms of bidi and in terms of text to speech? Is
subpara a block or an inline (span)?"

Interestingly enough Chris' comment comes in after reading section
2.3.2 and not 3.2.1.3

To me, this identifies a problem in the spec. Either we have duplicate
information (that's my opinion, I think 2.3.2 is saying too much)
and/or we should like from 2.3.2 to the _real_ definition of all these
APS (i.e., 3.2...). 

Now, assuming a reader has the same question after reading 3.2.1.3 and
3.2.1.4...  Note: my understanding of RESTRICTED TEXT and APPEND TEXT
is limited.

Q: Is that a block, in terms of bidi and in terms of text to speech?
A: 'para' is not a text element, it is a grouping mechanism which
allows certain object attributes; more specifically the 'content'
attribute for this particular object type (see 3.2.1.3). RESTRICTED
TEXT and APPEND TEXT define the WebCGM text features (see T.19.5,
T.19.6). 

Q: Is subpara a block or an inline (span)?
A: 'subpara' like 'para' is not a text element, but a grouping
object which allows for the 'content' attribute to be specified. (see
3.2.1.4)
