Manuscript description documents

[M. J. Driscoll]

My fellow council members,

Among the documents available on the webpage for the 
Manuscript Description Task Force (http://www.tei-
c.org/Activities/MS/) is my preliminary review of the TEI-MMSS 
draft (also available there). This document was intended 
principally to establish where and how that system differs from 
MASTER, and was written mostly for the members of the task-
force, myself included. I have no objection to members of the 
council reading it (which is why it is there), but do want to make 
clear that the views presented there are my own and not 
necessarily those of the other members of the task force.  
Unfortunately, it has not proved possible for us to finalise our 
recommendations in the time we've had, but we hope to be able to 
do so soon.
