Common attributes

## Description

A `Member` is an element of a `SimpleList`. Unlike the other lists, items in a `SimpleList` are constrained to character data and inline elements.

### Processing expectations

Formatted inline. How the inline `Member`s are formatted with respect to each other is controlled by the containing `SimpleList`.

### Future Changes

The `InterfaceDefinition` element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available in the content model of this element.

### Parents

These elements contain member: `simplelist`.

### Children
