Just an idea.
Some DTDs, like DITA topic, allow most elements to be completely empty.
Normally this forces you to create a lot of element templates, which is
clearly not desirable.
If this is the case for your DTD, you may want to specify something like
this in your configuration file:
---
<!-- This is needed because in DITA, many elements may be empty
(due to conref?) and this is often very surprising (e.g. strow).
Without this facility (invented for DITA in fact), it would be
necessary to add dozens of elementTemplates to this
configuration. -->
<newElementContent addChildElements="elementOnlyContentNotEmpty" />
