Nota

El elemento ab se puede utilizar a discreción del codificador para marcar cualquier elemento a nivel de componente en un texto para el que no se haya definido ningún otro marcado apropiado más específico.
Ejemplo
<div type="book" n="Genesis">
 <div type="chapter" n="1">
  <ab>In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.</ab>
  <ab>And the earth was without form, and void; and
     darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the
     spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.</ab>
  <ab>And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.</ab>
<!-- ...-->
 </div>
</div>
