If I understand this correctly, this just means that we get a sequential
numbering of chapters? This seems to be exactly what was up as P5 HTML
up to now. On http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/html/ for
example, there are no part numbers, at least not at some visible place,
i.e. in the left sidebar.
This seems to be the least intrusive option to me, so you have my
support for it.

This does not seems to be a conclusion of Option 2, but rather of the
further action you proposed. Since that is not spelled out here, I take
it that you will present your plans on this in more details later.
