yes and no. Yes, if we add exempla to the Gidlines in language X, they
come out in the right place and get validated and so on. No, in that
we don't have a workflow or any supporting tools for Domenico
and the Tagore scholars to use to submit examples. The only mechanism
we have is the clumsy (for this purpose) SF ticketing.

not a big deal in itself, but its little barriers in cases like this
that matter.

I might add that we still don't have the mechanism to accept longer
examples to enhance the Guidelines, ie the fully-marked up poem
or inscription or msDesc. Some of the same  problems apply.
