2 Defines the elements that may be used, and dictates where they may be applied in relation to each other; therefore specifies the document hierarchy and granularity
3 Comprises a set of declarations that define a document structure tree
4 Declarations stored either at the top of each document that must conform to the rules, or alternatively, and more usually, in separate data files, referred by a special instruction at the top of each document.
