Use of

I have been experimenting with the 2.0 DTDs in oXygen.
I was surprised to find that while I can nest <example> in any number of elements, there is still an enforcement that if I put <example> at the root of <conbody> I am still limited to <example> or <section> after that.
I had expected that by allowing <example> everywhere, it essentially would remove that restriction.
I would expect to be able to do something like: <conbody> <p>Introduction to some concept</p> <example>example of that concept</example> <p>More discussion about that concept</p> </conbody> Instead I have to do the following, which seems like a hack: <conbody> <p>Introduction to some concept</p> <p><example>example of that concept</example><p> <p>More discussion about that concept</p> </conbody> Am I misinterpreting the intent?
