Ah, I forgot this possibility!

Hm, I can't think of any reason, why not to use <type>integer</type>.
In /language/types.xml it is used this way and correctly renderd by
the dsl-sheets (html-common.dsl)line 160:
;; Linking types to the correct place
...
One difference:
<type>integer</type>: the resulting link is bold, while
<link linkend="language.types.integer">integer</link> is "normal".

Is this the reason not to use the short notation? :-(
BTW.: whats the reason for rendering <type>integer</type> bold?

According to tdg <type> is allowed in <entry>, <term> ....
http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/type-x.html

As I understand the dsl-sheets the only difference is, these types are
not linked.
