4 out of 5 isn't bad. But as I look at the Guidelines today, there
are 425 elements that have both a child <exemplum> with versionDate=
and a child <exemplum> without versionDate=. Since <exemplum>s aren't
necessarily grouped by the example contained, some of these might be
OK. But I really doubt all 425 are -- I bet most are instances where
we should be putting @versionDate on the <exemplum>s that don't have
it. 

There is a list of the culprits at 
   http://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/4TEICouncil/exemplumVersionDates.html

Each table is preceded by a heading that indicates what the
<exemplum>s are in. Each table has 3 columns: @xml:lang,
@versionDate, and first 64 characters of text.
