| <seg> | (arbitrary segment) contains any arbitrary phrase-level unit of text (including
other <seg>  elements). | 
| Attributes: | | subtype | provides a sub-categorization of the segment is marked. |  |  | Datatype: CDATA |  |  | Values: any string of characters. |  |  | Default: #IMPLIED |  | Note | The subtype  attribute may be used to provide any
classification for the <seg>  elements tagged in a text suitable
for the type  given. |  | part | specifies whether or not the segment is complete. |  |  | Datatype: (Y | N | I | M | F) |  |  | Legal values: | | Y | the segment is incomplete |  | N | either the segment is complete, or no claim is made as to its
completeness |  | I | the initial part of an incomplete segment |  | M | a medial part of an incomplete segment |  | F | the final part of an incomplete segment | 
 |  |  | Default: N |  | Note | The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is
clear how the segment is to be reconstituted. | 
 | 
| Example | <seg>When are you leaving?</seg>
<seg>Tomorrow.</seg> | 
| Example | <s>
<seg type='typographic part-line'
rend=caps>So father's only</seg>
glory was the ballfield.</s> | 
| Example | <seg id=S1S3 type=preamble>
  <seg id=S1>Sigmund,
      <seg type=patronym>the son of Volsung</seg>,
  was a king in Frankish country.</seg>
  <seg id=S2>Sinfiotli was the eldest of his sons ...</seg>
  <seg id=S3>Borghild, Sigmund's wife, had a brother ... </seg>
<!-- ... -->
</seg> | 
| Note | The <seg>  element may be used at the encoder's
discretion to mark any  segments of the text of interest
for processing.  One use of the element is to mark text features for
which no appropriate markup is otherwise defined --- i.e. as a simple
extension mechanism.  Another use is to provide an identifier for some
segment which is to be pointed at by some other element --- i.e. to
provide a target, or a part of a target, for a <ptr>  or other
similar element. |
