If you follow the link in this message, you'll
see some TEI-like folks.

As Chris Lilley asks, are they mad, or not? I
cannot decide

Hello www-international,

My attention was recently drawn to this document, by the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington:

Developing standards for encoding languages and writing systems in the editing of Greek and Latin texts
http://chs75.harvard.edu/projects/diginc/techpub/language-script

Its interesting both for the way it reflects current work (eg, use of RFC 3066bis) and the way it seems to diverge from it (either I don't understand what they mean by a 'mapping', or else they propose character abuse and don't understand that XML has a single document character set).
