`<exemplum>` | contains a single example demonstrating the use of an element, together with optional paragraphs of commentary.
Attributes | Global attributes only

Example

    <exemplum>
       <p>The <gi>name</gi> element can be used for both
       personal names and place names:</p>
       <eg><![&nil;CDATA[
         <q>My dear <name type="person">Mr. Bennet</name>,</q>
         said his lady to him one day, <q>have you heard that
         <name type="place">Netherfield Park</name> is let
         at last?</q>]&nil;]></eg>
       <p>As shown above, the <att>type</att> attribute may be used
       to distinguish the one from the other.</p>
      </exemplum>

Note that an explicit end-tag must be supplied for the paragraph immediately preceding the `<eg>` element within an `<exemplum>`, to prevent the `<eg>` from being mistaken for part of the paragraph.
