example example discusses a possible future feature

[sydb]

The <egXML> tagdoc has an example of <egXML> (itself, of course, encoded as an <egXML>) that purports to be a slide (from a lecture about TEI) that explains <egXML>. It contains the bullet point

  <item>The <att>rend</att> attribute in the TEI namespace can be
  used for recording how parts of the example was rendered</item>

This is a possible solution to the general problem of highlighting within examples (see at least #1632 and #1928, probably others). But it is one that, to my knowledge, has neither been agreed to nor implemented. The prose in the <remarks> spoke of it until 2018-01-19, at which time @jamescummings removed it “until [a] real mechanism [is] agreed [to]”, probably because this runs smack into the fact that attributes, by default, are in no namespace.

My instinct is to just change that last <item> to something entirely different, like

  <item>The <att>source</att> attribute can (and should) be used to
  point to a bibliographic citation for the example.</item>

Assigning to @jamescummings to approve or disapprove or shed light on why this is not a problem or some such. If he and I agree on a solution, assigned to myself to implement. (Unless you want to @jamescummings, in which case go right ahead. :-)

Duplicates #2222. (Which has by now been fixed.)
