Thank you for your answer. I am actually not interested in the LEGEND element
(or the PGBRK element that is also used in the cals dtd but not defined.) I
just wondered why the cals-tbl.dtd includes elements in content models that
are not defined. I.e. the cals-tbl.dtd delivered with the docbook dtd is not
valid on its own.
