Example
<p>The
<gi>xhtml:li</gi> element is roughly analogous to the
<gi>item</gi> element, as is the <gi scheme="DBK">listItem</gi> element.</p>

This example shows the use of both a namespace prefix and the schema attribute as alternative ways of indicating that the gi in question is not a TEI element name: in practice only one method should be adopted.
