The second example in this section of chapter 8:
<http://teijenkins.hcmc.uvic.ca/job/TEIP5/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/TS.html#TSSASE>
is marked (correctly) as invalid, because it contains an element defined
in an external namespace as an extension to TEI (<ext:paraphasia>).
However, the example is introduced as a demonstration of how to use the
TEI @type attribute on <seg>:
"Where segments of different kinds are to be distinguished within the
same stretch of speech, the type attribute may be used, as in the
following example:"
and the extension element is only explained after the example.
This is confusing. I'd like to re-draft this so that the initial
example, demonstrating usage of @type, is valid, and the extension is
introduced separately in a later, shorter example.
Yell now to prevent same.
Cheers,
Martin
