This raises an interesting question, which I was thinking about during
JATS-CON. If an article is authored in HTML, it's not entirely
straightforward to convert the body of the article to JATS markup. In
that case, is it possible to use JATS for the metadata (front and
back) of the article, but maintain the body of the article in the
original source format?

The source format might be HTML (in this case), PDF (as in the J-STAGE
converter <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK100490/> which only
extracts metadata so far), an image (from OCR), or even something
else.

An analogous element is Atom's "content" element, which has a "type"
attribute[1] containing the MIME type of the content within the
element.

The JATS "body" element only has a "specific-use" attribute, and the
element definition would have to be extended to allow non-JATS
content, so, instead, maybe a solution is to provide the main content
of the article in a separate file, and link to it within the body
element, like this?:

<article>
  <front>[...]</front>
  <body>
    <media mimetype="text" mime-subtype="html" xlink:href="index.html"
xlink:actuate="onLoad"/>
  </body>
  <back>[...]</back>
</article>

A big question, though, is whether PubMed Central would be willing to
archive content when the body of the document is in a format other
than JATS XML (possibly in a separate, accompanying file).
