This is a very interesting offshoot of architectural forms.  I'm going to
mull it a bit more and see what can be done.  Generally speaking the
rule looks like:  the HTML view converts non-HTML elements to their
character data, whereas the books view rejects all non-books elements
including their character data.  There would need to be some document
that specifies this.
