I am happy to do so, though (as lou comments privately) on reflection 
most people editing Corpora probably don't do so as a teiCorpus 
document to begin with, and so maybe a skeleton is a bit silly.  But, 
I might argue, it would act as a reminder that one could do so.  If it 
was just very basic and didn't include langUsage, category etc.  but 
just the basic structural divisions, then it is just a reiteration of 
the basic template so I'm not sure if it is very helpful.

But I'm supposed to be listening to Ian Lancashire, so just append the 
basic structural version here.  If others think doing one with 
examples of basic corpus elements would be useful, then I'm happy to 
do so.  (Though really just more example texts seem better)
