+  <p>Mallard explicitly disallows mixing block and inline content,
+  except in well-defined cases which can easily be detected and
+  handled.  In Mallard, any block element which can contain text
+  directly is considered to be a translation unit.  Since these
+  elements do not allow general block content to be mixed into
+  the inline content, translation units can always be presented
+  to translators without the need for placeholders.</p>
+
+  <p>Note that this may not be the case if a translation tool chooses
+  to treat certain container elements as translation units.  For example,
+  under some circumstances a translation tool might choose to present
+  <link xref="mal_table">tables</link> or
+  <link xref="mal_block_list">lists</link> as translatable to allow
+  translators to reorder the rows or items.  In these cases, the block
+  content inside the entries or items would still constitute discrete
+  units of translations, making placeholders necessary.</p>
