Actually, we cannot do this, since the composite component
implementation may include block-level content. Nesting this within
inline content (eg. a <div> nested within a <span>) would result in
invalid html. The composite component author needs to specify the
appropriate type of root element for their implementation.
Learn something every day. Thanks for the correction, Andy. I was
confused by "flow" mode. Just reread the xhtml xsd to get a better feel
for what's allowed, and all I can say is "ow, my eyes".

Yeah, I was thinking that same. Though not sure where exactly this
should be documented in order to increase the chance the our users will
find this information.
How about the pdl for composite:implementation? There's almost no docs
there right now anyway, and and those docs should be beefed up anyhow.
And logically, that would seem to be a good place for it.
