I agree, but (as my reply to David D. indicates) I think it's worth 
investigating, and if the principals on either of these projects is willing 
to help us do that, I can imagine for-fee certification as a grant-funded 
activity of TEI-based projects being a feasible thing to offer and a useful 
thing to receive.  I promise  not to promise too much, just an opportunity 
to talk about what it might be, and help us think about how to do it.
