ah, we are forgetting that there is always an <egXML> wrapper. _that_ is what it is validating,
the fragment rooted at <egXML>.

read the Makefile, Luke:

@echo BUILD: Check full validity of relevant examples with nvdl
	${SAXON} p5.xml Utilities/extractegXML.xsl > v.body
	echo "<!DOCTYPE p [" > v.header
	(cd valid; ls | perl -p -e  "s+(.*)+<\!ENTITY \1 SYSTEM \"valid/\1\">+") >> v.header
	echo "]>" >> v.header
	cat v.header v.body > v.xml
	./run-onvdl  p5valid.nvdl  v.xml

all the @valid='true' or not(@valid) examples  are included in v.xml inside a <p> (arbitrary choice) which is validated.

trust me,  they are checked. try breaking one.
