Map elements
Very important here: determine which are required, which are optional + provide instructions on when to include or omit the optional elements. Additionally, determine which elements must/should/could have a fixed position and which can be placed best on best judgement + again provide instructions on what basis to make those judgement calls. Add instructions how to avoid redundancy of information. Which (optional) elements can be either/or.
m = mandatory, a = allowed, d = disallowed
