        - Don summarized the issue 
        - Paul Prescod - Fixing the bug would imply changing the
          content model -- this is a design decision that should not
          be made lightly.
        - Bruce Esrig -- Better to fix sooner than later.
        - PROPOSAL: Paul Prescod moves to loosen the content model
          for the fig element (by adding xref and fn) to allow

          specialization in particular.

        - Item to add to spec-in-process issues (Don to add to
          future agenda) -- 
            - Content model consistency, to make sure that the same
              base for specialization for all elements that are the
              same kinds of elements (Erik Hennum)
