The reason why one would want to  inherit from the same element in the
architectural DTD, is so that <name> and <status> are considered as siblings
of the same type,so that when XSL works on the transformed document  the
following desired output is gotten :-

> 1 description
> 1.1 document
> 1.1.1 name
> 1.1.2 status
> 1.1.3 name


Am I right?
