Not at all. We make no claim that the content of  <egXML>s is valid
TEI.  As it happens, we do validate them against a TEI schema,
but that's just for convenience. You could extend the ODD which
checks <egXML> to support other things too. Its a moot
question as to whether an <egXML> should indicate
whether its content is supposed to be valid TEI. Perhaps
it should have a @base attribute indicating its claimed
ancestry, defaulting to "TEI"?
