Examples

<death when="1960-12-10">Passed away near <name type="place">Aix-la-Chapelle</name>, after suffering from cerebral palsy. </death>
<death when="2024-08-16" where="gn:US-NM-039-5467024"/>

In this example, the value of @where demonstrates the use of private URI scheme and custom prefix (gn:), which would typically be defined by a prefixDef in the document's teiHeader.
