Sorry, but I disagree. We've suffered from years from having a tag 
called tei.2 -- let's make the naming reflect the reality of the 
situation. There is P4 which we have agreed to freeze and to maintain in 
parallel for a few years, and there is the current version of the TEI, 
which is (as it happens) P5. It might become P6 one day, but it *is* 
currently the TEI proposals. If someone asks "what does the TEI say 
about c haracter encoding" the correct answer is what it says in P5, 
possibly with a back reference to what it used to say in P4.  So I think 
that P4 is the "marked case" as linguists say and should have a 
different name. I'm not married to "teiclassic" but it does convey what 
I think we want to say about this other version rather well --despite 
the associations with a well known marketing fiasco!
