Example from GAet7


                            <decoNote xml:id="b1">The book is sewn on four sewing stations (two
                                pairs) linked to uncovered wooden boards. On the inner side of the
                                left board is pasted a textile inlay and there are traces of a
                                leather cover.</decoNote>

                            <decoNote xml:id="b3" type="Boards"> The right board is broken in two
                                halves which are held together by leather strings. The left board is
