I would point to the second example on:
http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-taxonomy.html
which indicates pointing to a taxonomy from an <lg>.  My 
recollection was this example was added by council specifically 
to indicate this kind of usage.  However, they appear to have 
overlooked <classDecl> needing a slight rephrasing.
