Attributes(what's this?)

type (optional): Defines the type of definition in order to give specialized control over numbering. Definitions of the same type are numbered in series (i.e., Definition 1, Definition 2...). Type can be used in conjunction with label so that definitions of each user-defined type appear with their own label. Type can be any user-defined value that reflects the purpose of the definition.
id (required): A unique identifier, whose value must begin with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, colons, and/or periods (no spaces).

Children(what's this?)

First, definition may contain an optional label tag. Next, it must contain a single term tag. Then, it must contain one or more meaning tags, followed in turn by any optional example tags associated with that meaning. Finally, definition may contain an optional seealso tag.
