[tei-council] <egXML> example

[Rebecca Welzenbach]

Part of Martin's question seems easy: in cases like this can we just
flip the examples around so a correct one appears first and an
incorrect one second (so we don't say what not to do without first
saying what to do).

But I am also confused about why this example is flagged as incorrect.
Although <language ident="fr">English</language> is clearly wrong, I
would expect an example identified as "incorrect" to be wrong in the
way it uses the element it is demonstrating--not to have some other
error inside of it. Is there something wrong with how <egXML> is being
used in this example?
