[tei-council] broken schemas in exemplars

[David Sewell]

This just led me to notice an error in the TEI Header chapter, at 2.3.4,
The Tagging Declaration:

   The <tagsDecl> element consists of an optional sequence of <rendition>
   elements, each of which must bear a unique identifier, followed by at
   least one <namespace> element...

In fact both <namespace> and <rendition> are optional:

  element tagsDecl { att.global.attributes, ( rendition*, namespace* ) }

Change wording to "... followed by an optional sequence of one or more
<namespace> elements"?
