At the "class" sub-committee meeting in Oxford in September, it was
decided to drop the <imprint> element from <bibl> and <biblItem> (but
not from <monogr>). The effect of this change from the
sub-committee's point of view is to make the TEI class system a
little simpler and more coherent. That's a good thing. The result
from the encoder's point of view is that things that are encoded as
<bibl xml:id="IMEV">
<author>Carleton Brown</author> and <author>Rossell Hope Robbins</author>
<title level="m">The index of Middle English verse</title>
<imprint>
<pubPlace>New York</pubPlace>
<date>1943</date>
</imprint>
</bibl>
in P4 would need to become
<bibl xml:id="IMEV">
<author>Carleton Brown</author> and <author>Rossell Hope Robbins</author>
<title level="m">The index of Middle English verse</title>
<pubPlace>New York</pubPlace>
<date>1943</date>
</bibl>
in P5.
I am posting here just to double-check that this change is OK with
Council. While all of us at the meeting were convinced that the extra
level of nesting is not helpful, I think it would be a good idea to
ask some librarians, catalogers, bibliographers, etc.
