Hi all,

I recently made a change to XEP-0393 that attempted to clarify the rules
for span selection (https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/1001). However, the
text is *still* wrong and does not match the examples.

The text says:

>  Spans are always parsed from the beginning of the byte stream to the
>  end and are lazily matched.

However, all of the examples (including the updated ones from the last
change) are *greedily* matched.

> *strong* plain *strong*
> *strong*plain*

If these were lazily matched only the outermost asterisks would be
styling directives.

Can anyone sanity check me on this? If we make this change to the text
it won't break any of the examples as far as I can see, and I think this
was just a simple typo on my part, but I wanted to follow up and ask
here first.

—Sam
