[tei-council] adding (non-)Struct elements to <date> & <time>

[Lou Burnard]

It was Harry's work I had in mind when I suggested we ought to be 
looking at TimeML, actually.

As current ISO liaison person, I'd be very happy to keep tracking this 
item, if I can find the time/money. However, it would be a very good 
thing to find someone else with expertise or interest in the area within 
the TEI community. ISO liaison is an expensive activity, since they 
organize meetings all over the world, and the ideal candidate ought also 
therefore to have some money!
