--- Comment #18 from Christian Lehmann <[email protected]> ---
If the goal of purging a document from redundant material would be seriously
pursued, I would volunteer to present a list of elements that seem superfluous
to me, in a given file. However, as Mike noticed long ago, I am not a
specialist on technicalities. I can only see things such as this:

Have a paragraph (e.g. a heading) obeying a style which puts the entire
paragraph in bold face. Then copy into this paragraph a string which already is
formated, by character format, as bold face. The code of this attribute is
preserved in the XML file. The user, however, does not need this. Even if he
had advanced methods of looking into the inner formating of substrings of the
paragraph in question, this would be of no interest to him. Consequence: Delete
the character formating of a string if it is copied into a context which
already has this format.

This is the kind of redundancy I was referring to. I trust my file would be
much smaller if it were suppressed.
