As you all know, any TEI schema or DTD has an attribute "TEIform" for
every element.
It contains the name of the element, and is there to help you
reconstruct documents
where the element name has changed.

We now know how to do this better by reference back to the ODD source,
which also covers attribute names.

Hands up all those who would be willing to quietly drop this dinosaur
artefact?
