In the TEI vocabulary this is less and less guaranteed. Structures like:
<p>a <corr sic="tyop">typo</corr></p>
holding a lapsus, should now (in the last version of the TEI guidelines,
P5) be marked:
<p>a <choice><corr>typo</corr><sic>tyop</sic></choice></p>
If I understand correctly, only finite list of values should now be
recorded in attribute (so that no-'atomic' (?) value may always be marked
up further).
This make me think that perenity of the data is concerned with mixed
content.
