[tei-council] one <exemplum> or many?

[Kevin Hawkins]

It strikes me as wrong semantically (an "exemplum" is a single example) 
and also potentially confusing to a user (for an element that can 
repeat, not being sure whether the multiple examples rendered in the 
same green box online could appear together in the same place in a 
document).  I see the convenience, but I think it's something we should 
avoid.
