There are all sorts of ways we could be making better use of our 
examples.  I had already added TEI Examples to the agenda for the 
face2face, so we should at least have a quick discussion about it 
then.  I do think it is something we need to investigate a bit 
first and come to a decision about the best way to organise, 
re-use and process our examples rather than just bolting on more 
workarounds.  (But use of index terms might indeed be a good way 
to do this.)
