Re: [docbook] <productname class="???">

Thank you, Jirka,

I have read TDG more carefully now and I see what you mean. In fact, element names are not so 
intuitive in this case.

I'll use <application> for a product (marketing) name of an electronic chip, such as MH7400.

TDG shows "The name of a software program" as the short description, which was misleading me a bit.

Ciao,
		Tomas
