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.
