In response to SF  2021933, I changed the default content model of <egXML>
to be "any XML element", which seems to have been agreed. If you need
reminding, see
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&group_id=106328&atid=644062&aid=2021933

This change brings the default closer to the ODD actually used
for TEI P5 (where <egXML> is further constrained to be "any XML element
in the TEI example namespace".  However, this makes the content
model of <content>, which is also by default "text" , anomalous. This too
should default to "anyXML element", and be specialised for P5 into
"any RELAXNG element".  The change in the P5 ODD from "text" to "XML"
is actually making us non-conformant!

If you disagree with this analysis, please shout! Otherwise I'll
proceed with the change.
