It would be reasonable to start with a specific subset of tags, right?
We could even do a minimized DTD, if that helps.

A few minutes work on the current set of documentation will tell us
which tags are currently used.  For example, I've never seen any of
the OO programming tags (<methodname>, etc.) used in Fedora Docs.

We don't have to limit the tagset forever, but it would give a smaller
scope for the early/first iterations, and it would follow the rule
suggested above about spec extension.
