Here is some updated text for consideration.

========
The <keyword> element and its specializations are used to mark a word or compound word with special meaning in a particular domain. For special treatment of phrases, see <ph>.
In the prolog of a topic, the <keyword> element may appear within the <keywords> element. In this context, the contents of the <keyword> element indicate the subject of the topic. This information is intended to help an author classify and identify a topic, which can be used for search and retrieval applications and other applications such as flagging.
In the body of a topic, the <keyword> element delimits words and compound words that also appear within the text of the topic.
In either context, the preferred approach is to use a specialization of <keyword>. The specializations have special semantics associated with them. In the body of a topic, the specializations can be processed with special formatting in the output. If no appropriate specialization has been created, the author can use the outputclass attribute to indicate the semantic scope.
