Um, no, there is no <_phrase> element. There is a <phrase> element whose
content is different in different contexts. The _phrase is a named pattern
in the RelaxNG syntax, similar to a parameter entity in DTD syntax.

Make sense?
I think so. Let me paraphrase my understanding: for purposes of
validation, a named doc which includes db.phrase and/or db._phrase
elements will validate against the DB schema if and only if the doc
validates when the <phrase>, <_phrase>, </phrase> and </_phrase> tags are
simply omitted, with one potential exception. The exception would be if
the <phrase> or <_phrase> elements were marked with invalid attributes.
So for purposes of validation, the db.phrase and db._phrase elements are
"transparent."
Is that correct?
