Folks,
In the jump from DocBook 3.x to 4.x, Filename (and a few other elements)
had their content model changed from cptr.char.mix to
smallcptr.char.mix.
This means that constructs such as
<para>Your ssh key pair will be placed in the
<filename><envar>$HOME</envar>/.ssh</filename> directory.</para>
which were valid in 3.x are no longer valid.
Is there a recommended alternative way to mark up this sort of text?
Wanting to mark up the environment variable, while still indicating it's
part of a filename seems fairly natural to me.
