I agree. I think what we wanted to do was identify a new sub-class of 
phrase containing the components of <bibl> which were not already 
members of tei.biblPart, factoring them out of the definition of phrase 
in the process.  <author> doesnt belong in the list at all, since it's a 
member of tei.biblPart.

The issue now becomes whether a reference to tei.phrase.bibl  would make 
sense wherever we currently have a reference to either tei.hqphrase or 
tei.data

If it wouldnt, and if we want to retain those class memberships for 
<title>, <date>, <dateRange> then there is no point in defining this new 
class.
