Make sense?

I think so. Let me paraphrase my understanding: for purposes of validation, a doc which includes db.phrase and/or db._phrase elements will validate against the DB schema if and only if the doc validates when the <phrase>, <_phrase>, </phrase> and </_phrase> tags are simply omitted, with one potential exception. The exception would be if the <phrase> or <_phrase> elements were marked with invalid attributes.

So for purposes of validation, the db.phrase and db._phrase elements are "transparent."

Is that correct?
