Attributes
Description
The phrase element in DocBook has no specific
semantic. It is provided as a wrapper around a selection of words
smaller than a paragraph so that it is possible to provide an xml:id or other attributes for it.
For example, if you are making note of changes to a document using
one of the effectivity attributes, you might use
phrase to mark up specific sentences with
revisions.
