I have followed this advice, and now removed all attributes from the TEI 
Header (other than type). I have also added the following text to 
chapter HD:

<p>The main purpose of the revision description is to record changes
in the text to which a header is prefixed. However, it is recommended
TEI practice to include entries also for significant changes in the
header itself (other than the revision description itself, of
course). At the very least, an entry should be supplied indicating the
date of creation of the header.</p>

Any objections?
