+<p>Mallard provides a small but rich set of semantic inline elements.
+The elements provided are culled from first-hand experience with software
+documentation and other document formats.  The inline element defined in
+this specification will serve most software documentation writers' needs
+well.</p>
+
+<p>Authors, editors, or other content producers sometimes need to supply
+richer information in their documents.  While this information may not
+be conveyed by display tools, it may be used for various internal tracking
+purposes.  Mallard allows elements to be extended with attributes from
+external namespaces.  See <link xref="mal_attr_external"/> for more
+information.</p>
+
+<p>Furthermore, Mallard allows elements from external namespaces to be
+used in any inline context.  See <link xref="#processing"/> below for
+more information.</p>

+
+  <p>Inline elements occur within block elements or other inline elements.
+  Mallard never allows block elements within inline elements.  Inline elements
+  should never introduce a line break in the rendered output.</p>
+
+  <p>Different inline elements may introduce different styling effects, such
+  as font variations, text and background colors, and backgrounds.  Generally,
+  if a styling effect is set for a particular element, it is in effect for all
+  descendant elements, unless explicitly overridden.</p>
+
+  <p>Mallard allows elements from external namespaces to be used in any inline
+  context.  Display tools may have special behavior for particular elements they
+  understand.  Otherwise, display tools should process an unknown element as if
+  the element were replaced by its child content.</p>
