The phrase
element in DocBook has no specific semantic.
It is provided as a wrapper around a selection of words smaller than a
paragraph so that it is possible to provide an
xml:id
or other attributes for them.
For example, if you are making note of changes to a document using one
of the effectivity attributes, you might use phrase
to
mark up specific sentences with revisions.
These elements contain phrase
