Note

La convention TEI exige que cela soit exprimé sous la forme d'une proposition finie, introduite par un verbe actif.
Exemple
<desc>contient une description brève de la raison d'être et du champ d'application d'un
élément, d'un attribut ou de la valeur d'un attribut, d'une classe ou une entité.</desc>
Schematron A desc with a type of deprecationInfo should only occur when its parent element is being deprecated. Furthermore, it should always occur in an element that is being deprecated when desc is a valid child of that element.

<sch:rule context="tei:desc[ @type eq 'deprecationInfo']">
<sch:assert test="../@validUntil">Information about a
deprecation should only be present in a specification element
that is being deprecated: that is, only an element that has a
@validUntil attribute should have a child <desc
type="deprecationInfo">.</sch:assert>
</sch:rule>
