<surface>

<surface> defines a written surface in terms of a rectangular coordinate space, optionally grouping one or more graphic representations of that space, and rectangular zones of interest within it.

Note
The surface element represents a rectangular area of any physical surface forming part of the source material. This may be a sheet of paper, one face of a monument, a billboard, a papyrus scroll, or indeed any 2-dimensional surface.
The coordinate space defined by this element may be thought of as a grid lrx - ulx units wide and uly - lry units high. This grid is superimposed on the whole of any image directly contained by the surface element. The coordinate values used by every zone element contained by this surface are to be understood with reference to the same grid.
