O.K.  The two <f> elements are embedded in the sequence of stuff in the
<a> element, and have definite places in the sequence.

For example, if you wanted to write a sentence containing an Egyptian
hieroglyph or some mathematical symbol so novel or arcane it's not in
Unicode, you might resort to making an image of the symbol and putting
it in line like that.  This is similar to the example

        <p>abcd <i>efg</i> jklm</p>
