That particular editor uses this external file to determine (at least)
whether the dropped in tag pair should be inlines or blocks
<emph></emph> or
<para>
</para>

Analysing a schema is something I've now wanted to do for 3 different
reasons, and I've a feeling that the stylesheet to do it is quite hairy.

Psst. Have a look at the way they 'drop' a pair of tags on a highlighted
block of text! Delightful  IMHO. I've not seen that since I saw
some dedicated markup software at Xerox!
