Coords

Coords provides the coordinates of the AreaSet. The coordinates should be interpreted using the Units (or OtherUnits) specified. This attribute is erroneous since the enclosed Areas must also provide Coords. It will go away in DocBook 4.0.

Label

Label specifies an identifying number or string that may be used in presentation.

OtherUnits

If none of the Units are applicable, set Units to Other and set OtherUnits to some application-specific description of the desired units.

Units

Units indicate how Coords are to be interpreted.
