The reason why some elements only are allowed is to generate valid
DocBook, as in <synopsis> not everything is accepted.  I do not remember
if <subscript> is allowed or not, I may have forgotten to add it.  If it
is not allowed, however, I think that inconsistent-looking output is
better than invalid DocBook...
