[jats-list] @content-type on elements for bibliographic citations?

As I become familiar with JATS, one thing that has struck me is that the content model of <element-citation> is remarkably flat. There is no grouping of information within the citation -- for example, of data relating to an article versus information related to the journal it appears in, or of data related to a chapter versus information related to the book it appears in, or of data related to a series in which a book or journal issue appears.

Would anyone be willing to share a tagged examples of one or more of these:

a) A citation to a particular page or pages within a journal article (where you an <fpage>/<lpage> pair for the cited pages and another pair for the page range of the whole journal article)

b) A citation for a chapter within an anthology (where you one <person-group>/<collab> for the author and one <person-group>/<collab> for the editor of the anthology)

c) A citation for a special issue of a journal that is part of a monographic series (where you have a <volume> for the journal's numbering and another <volume> for the series numbering)

While I realize that in each case you could simply have more than one of the elements I list above within the <element-citation> (or <mixed-citation>), I'm wondering whether anyone tries to distinguish these with, say, @content-type, and if so, whether they have a controlled vocabulary for values of @content-type. That is, how do you distinguish the components of such complex citations in a way that the citation could be processed by a machine?

Thanks,

Kevin
