P.S. If it pleases your sense of aesthetics, merge these three elements into one mandatory element, with an attribute to specify whether the innerxml represents a summary or a content, and another optional element specifying the location. Oh, and allow multiples of this element as there are scenarios in which both summaries and content are provided.
