Balazs, While possible to use the markers for instance examples...
- they’ve never been used before, AFIAK (historical context) - they're unneeded, as examples don’t contain copyright (per Lada’s comment) - they're disallowed by RFC 8407 for example modules (per Benoit comment) - as a contributor, I don’t wish to birth a new convention of using the markers for examples. In order to support programmatic extraction of examples from drafts, please just set the “name” attribute on the <sourcecode> or <artwork> element in the XML draft. 2.48.2. "name" Attribute A filename suitable for the contents (such as for extraction to a local file). This attribute can be helpful for other kinds of tools (such as automated syntax checkers, which work by extracting the source code). Note that the "name" attribute does not need to be unique for <artwork> elements in a document. If multiple <sourcecode> elements have the same "name" attribute, a formatter might assume that the elements are all fragments of a single file, and such a formatter can collect those fragments for later processing.
