This is all defined in org-element-object-restrictions together with
other restrictions on what kinds of objects can be placed inside other
elements and objects:

(minimal-set '(bold code entity italic latex-fragment strike-through
                             subscript superscript underline verbatim))
(citation-reference ,@minimal-set)
