[tei-council] Chapter 9 - Dictionaries

[Paul F. Schaffner]

>>     </quote>
>>     <cit type="translation" xml:lang="fr">
>>      <quote>elle s'habille avec chic</quote>
>>     </cit>
>>    </cit>
>
> Wow. So to ascertain what "elle's ..." is a translation of, I look at
> its parent's sibling <quote>? Is that always the case?

Just to be clear, is this practice intended for use only in dictionaries? 
Or generally in running text? The pairing of example and translation
(with or without bibliographical info) is after all one of the
commonest things to find, practically everywhere.
