Sorry for an off-topic comment: isn't it a weird markup design? If a
real/complex part of a complex cartesian is perceived as an entity, one is
expected to put it into a <m:re>/<m:im> or something like this. Nothing strange
you cannot express it by a DTD or Schema; it is equally difficult to describe
the semantics of the <sep/> element in plain English ("represents a space
between Re and Im" ;-)?).
