I looked at 33.2.1 today, and see that the relevant example is

<elementSpec
  ident="eg"
  module="tagdocs"
  mode="change"
  ns="http://example.com/ns">
 <classes mode="change">
  <memberOf key="att.typed"/>
 </classes>
</elementSpec>

which is a bit worrying, as a) it does not work, and b) is probably barking up the wrong tree.
do we really think we can move <eg> to a different namespace like this, in
change mode?

but the ostensible reading there _does_ say that the changed <eg> will not be in
the TEI namespace....

I am looking to see why it does not work.
