[tei-council] Things needing translation

While it might be too far to call it "artificial", I confess that
Martin's scenario does not convince me. For one, it requires a
different semantic for versionDate=, which is explicitly about
translation.

Eeek! While I'm not convinced (either way) that giving <exmplum>s
ident= attrs is going too far, restricting to 1 <exemplum> seems like
a bad idea. Why not use <exemplum> to group language-equivalent
<egXML>s?

          <exemplum>
            <desc xml:lang="en">two equivalent exmples …</desc>
            <desc xml:lang="el">δύο ισοδύναμα παραδείγματα …</desc>
            <egXML xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/Examples"
              xml:lang="el">
              <label rend="bold">α</label>
            </egXML>
            <egXML xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/Examples"
              xml:lang="en">
              <label rend="bold">α</label>
            </egXML>
          </exemplum>
          <exemplum>
            <desc>two different examples, #1</desc>
            <egXML xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/Examples"
              xml:lang="en">
              <said>Ever dance with the devil by the pale
                moonlight?</said>
            </egXML>
          </exemplum>
          <exemplum>
            <desc>δύο διαφορετικά παραδείγματα, #2</desc>
            <egXML xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/Examples">
              <said>Είμαστε villians είναι μια πολύ επίλεκτη ομάδα
                πράγματι. Στην πολύ απελπισία του μίσους μας
                στηρίζεται η δύναμή μας.</said>
            </egXML>
          </exemplum>

At the moment it seems to make sense, although in my snow-fearing
fever I may be missing something.
