Yes. So <mixed> X </mixed> is shorthand for
<interleave> <group>X</group> <text/> </interleave>. Which is not 
completely clear from specification if you read it with programmer eyes 
not computer scientists eyes.

I think that problem is at the bottom of page 53 where there Eric is 
comparing mixed to interleave on example with one child element in mixed 
content where there is no distinction between mixed and interleave. But 
in the real world (DocBook, XHTML) mixed content models contain many 
elements.
