The definition of a term specified elsewhere in the document.
The Definition element can either be used inline, to contain a definition that is
a simple string of text, or can be used with the Mark attribute at each end of a more
complex definition with child provisions or structures (that is, a single empty instance
of Definition at each end of the definition, the first with Mark="Start" and the second
with Mark="End").
Describes horizontal alignment with permissible values of:
inherit (the alignment is inherited from the parent element)
left
centre
right
justify (the entire paragraph is justified. Note that the last line is not force-justified.
The decision on whether the last line should be is left to the implementation).
Should be used to indicate the main language of the content contained by the element
upon which the attribute is appearing. Values should be taken from the ISO 639 standard.
This attribute should be used where the language is different from the main language
of the document.
Is used to indicate whether white space is significant in the contained content and
can contain the value ‘default’ or ‘preserve’. For a value of ‘default’, it is left
to an application as to how to treat white space.

This indicates a proviso, which is a clause that qualifies or restricts the validity
of the preceding provision. It can be used either inline to contain a proviso that
is a simple string of text or with the 'Mark' attribute at each end of a more complex
proviso with child provisions or structures i.e. a single empty instance of 'Proviso'
at each end of the proviso, the first with Mark='Start' and the second with Mark='End'.

The MilestoneAttributes group extends the content model for Proviso and Definition
so that they can be used as milestones, i.e. so that they are used to mark the start
and end of the feature that they annotate, rather than occurring as a single instance
containing the whole feature. This means that their content may traverse multiple
elements and levels of the document hierarchy
