Hi Elisa, hi Stefan,

@Stefan: thanks for adding the example
@Elisa: Because  <postscript> is so limited in its content model (and attribute classes) I prefer to use <div>s with @decls or @hand. I really only use <postscript> for „one-liners“. That said, I find @hand on  <postscript> a good idea and second the idea of a feature request.

Best
Peter
