Re: Tagging nomenclature

Building on Jonathan's comments, the grouping tags are used like this
example:

Tags
<Document> Should encase all of the tags in the entire document
<Art> Which is an article, not artwork.
Should group an entire story, from its heading to
the end.
<Hx>
<P>
Followed by more regular element tags, <L>, <Table>
and others.
<Sect> A small section of content related to the
article/story.
Common example is a sidebar to a story.

The <Part> tag is for a major section of a large document. Examples: a
chapter of a book, a department in a magazine.

<Div> is not well defined in PDF/UA and is not recognized by AT, so we don't
recommend its use in most PDFs.
