Background

The obvious review of a document or topic is to read it from first page to last page, either on paper or on-screen. This is a good approach and cannot be omitted. But with the introduction of semantic XML, an element centric review, in addition to the traditional review, might be useful to discover inconsistencies.

The scope of the element centric review is to ensure consistency throughout a single XML document.
