      Section 6.7.2 <text:placeholder>

      Ed. Note: OK, I'm confused. Is this a field that accepts data or is it an element that contains text to be displayed with elements that represent such fields? I suspect the latter but it isn't clear.

      Oliver suggests: "MHO, <text:placeholder> is replaced by the content of the type, which is indicated by its text:placeholder-type attribute, when the user starts editing a <text:placeholder>"

      The only difficulty being that we define text:placeholder-type as follows:

      The text:placeholder-type attribute specifies the content type of the five possible types of content: text, tables, text boxes, images, or objects of a placeholder. This attribute is mandatory. The value of the attribute can be text, text-box, image, table, or object.

      Which doesn't seem to work.
