In practice, this means that you should add markup that describes what things are and not how they should appear. So, in the example above, the <keycombo>
(a keyboard shortcut) tells the reader (or computer) that the keys Ctrl, Alt and V should be pressed simultaneously, but doesn't say anything about how that should be displayed in the final output. (In fact, it appears as "Ctrl + Alt + V", but it
could equally be converted to "C-M-V" à la Emacs or even some other way of showing keyboard shortcuts. What's important is that the DocBook source has the "information" necessary to work out what is being referred to.)
