Would anyone mind defining/explaining this to me?   This was covered 
during one of the hours I was out of the meeting for class.

Patrick suggested, wouldn't that make it good candidate for being a 
milestone type rather than a new element?  I guess I don't follow what 
"appliesTo" means either, but assuming a milestone type of "discourse", 
couldn't "preceding" & "following" be subTypes?
