Nota

Porque los niños de un elemento <opción> representan las maneras alternativas de codificar la misma secuencia, es natural pensar en ellas como mutuamente exclusivas. Sin embargo, puede haber casos donde una representación completa de un texto requiera que las codificaciones alternativas sean consideradas como paralelas.

Se Observa también que los elementos <opción> pueden ser uno mismo-jerarquía.

Para una versión especializada de la <opción> para codificar los testimonios múltiples de un único trabajo, ver la sección 13.1 The Apparatus Entry, Readings, and Witnesses.
Ejemplo

An American encoding of Gulliver's Travels which retains the British spelling but also provides a version regularized to American spelling might be encoded as follows.

<p>Lastly, That, upon his solemn oath to observe all the above
articles, the said man-mountain shall have a daily allowance of
meat and drink sufficient for the support of <choice>
  <sic>1724</sic>
  <corr>1728</corr>
 </choice> of our subjects,
with free access to our royal person, and other marks of our
