The problem is not about PCDATA, it's that since there is not definition of what subFs can hold, tools cannot do anything with it.

For example: how a tool can know what to do with the content of subFs in <pc fs:fs="img" fs:subFs="smileface.png">? There is nowhere any processing expectation that describe, for example, that if fs is 'img' subFs contains the URL of the image. What is the value of subFs when fs is something else?
