I just noticed two French examples that could use some attention.
(I was thinking of Lou, but anyone who speaks French reasonably well
would be a step better than me. :-)

The 2nd French example in Source/Specs/filiation.xml looks like it
has (at least) 2 errors:
<listPerson>
<person xml:id="pFp2" role="relieur">
<persName>
<addName>Le Gascon</addName>
</persName>
<affiliation>Atelier</affiliation>
<residence>Paris<placeName/> </residence>
<!-- ^^^^^^^^^ = empty placeName? -->
</person>
<person role="ancien possesseur"> </person>
<!-- ^^^ empty person? -->
</listPerson>
I'm pretty sure that first error is just that the placeName tags
should surround "Paris":
<residence><placeName>Paris</placeName></residence>
But I'm not at all sure about the empty person. I think it belongs
there (otherwise this is not much of a <listPerson>), but wonder what
the content should be. The previous French example has the same value
for role=, so maybe this is a copy of that? Or maybe the content
should just be "<!-- ... -->" to indicate "stuff goes here"?

In Source/Guidelines/en/ND-NamesDates.xml within section "NDGEOGmp",
in the Mascarene Islands example, some of the place names are clearly
French. I've put "xml:lang='fr'" on the two place names
La roche qui pleure and Île aux cerfs
but wonder about the others.
