[tei-council] Some place tests

My tests are below. I tried a place that was destroyed and rebuilt as a
museum somewhere else (Fort Hamilton/Fort Whoop Up); a place that has a
huge number of names and is in a district that changed names
(Coalbanks/Lethbridge/Sikohktoks), and a river (Belly/Old Man).
I've added some comments on issues that arose interlinealy in the code.
I also ran all the examples against an rng schema produced from this
afternoon's ODD: the problems are indicated by comments. All the ones
that did not have any problems have been cut back out. (I'm reproducing
it here in case attachments aren't allowed).
-dan
P.S. a problem independent of place came up: if I want to encode the
orgName
North West Mounted Police (NWMP)/Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP),
the "Mounties"
How does one do that? I original wanted to do
<orgName>
<choice>
<expan>North West Mounted Police</expan>
<abbr>NWMP</abbr>
<soCalled>Mounties</soCalled>
<choice>
But soCalled wasn't allowed in the choice. I'm wondering if there is a
way of getting all three or five names, nicknames, and abbreviations
into a single ancestor element while indicating the connection between
them in a fashion similar to my typography above.

<placeEvent type="Synopsis">
<p>Fort Hamilton/Fort Whoop Up was established
as a trading fort at the
confluence of the St. Mary's and Belly (now
Oldman) rivers in 1869 by
<persName>J.J. Healy</persName> and
<persName>A.B.
Hamilton</persName>, American traders from
<placeName>Montana</placeName>. The fort was
established in large part
in response to the enactment of laws
forbidding the sale of alcohol on
the nearby Montana Reserves that same year.
Although the fort carried
out legitimate trade, the fort also rapidly
became one of the more
notorious Whiskey trading posts in the
Canadian North West. Prompted in
part by the threat these forts posed to good
order (Whiskey traders
massacred a number of Assiniboine in the
nearby Cyprus Hills in 1873)
and in part by the threat to sovereinty
posed by the largely
American-run Whiskey trade (Fort Whoop Up
used a flag that closely
resembled the U.S. Stars and Stripes), in
1874 the government of the new
Dominion of Canada established the <orgName>
<choice>
<expan>North West Mounted
Police</expan>
<abbr>NWMP</abbr>
</choice>
</orgName> (later the <orgName>
<choice>
<expan>Royal Canadian Mounted
Police</expan>
<abbr>RCMP</abbr>
</choice>
</orgName>) to police the new territories.
By the fall of 1874, the NWMP
had established a presence in the area (they
even rented barack space
from Healy and Hamilton at the fort), and
brought the whiskey trade
under control. The fort continued as a
legitimate trading post until it
was abandoned in the early 1890s. The last
remnants of the original
structures were washed away in a flood of
the Oldman (formerly Belly)
river in 1915.</p>
<p>The fort was recreated as a museum and
interpretative centre
approximately 7 km downstream (NW) of the
original site in Indian Battle
Park, an urban park of the City of
Lethbridge, as a Centennial project
in 1967.</p>

<quote>The mountainous region of the
watershed serves as the headwaters
for the Oldman River and its
tributaries. Headwaters for the Belly,
Waterton, and St. Marys rivers begin in
Montana. The coldwater
streams of the mountain and foothill
regions support a large sport
fishery. This region is largely forested
with stands of aspen and
lodgepole pine. The stands become more
continuous with elevation,
and include white spruce, douglas fir,
engelmann spruce, alpine fir,
and alpine larch.</quote>

<p>
<quote>The foothills region is characterised
by rolling hills, and a
fragile foothills fescue vegetation
ecosystem that is threatened by
introduction of non-native vegetation
and extensive cattle grazing.
The foothills are a result of uplifting
of the Rocky Mountains in
the Cenozoic era (65 million years to
present), when shale and
sandstone deposits were broken and
pushed eastward in ripples</quote>

<placeTrait type="Plains">
<p>
<quote>The plains region comprises
approximately 80 percent of the
watershed. The area is characterised by
dark brown chernozemic soils
that are well suited to agriculture. The
conversion of natural
prairie vegetation to agricultural crop
production and cattle
grazing has resulted in the natural
prairie ecosystem being the most
threatened ecosystem in Alberta. The
most urbanised section of the
watershed is the eastern portion, around
the City of Lethbridge, and
the towns of Coaldale and Taber. Here
the landscape is fragmented by
multiple land uses. The Oldman River
above Lethbridge supports some
coldwater and warmwater fisheries, while
the area downstream of
Lethbridge is a warmwater
fishery.</quote>

<placeTrait type="climate">
<p>
<quote>The climate of Southern Alberta is
semi-arid with extremes of
weather, and great day-to-day potential
variation in local climate.
Climate conditions in the Oldman River
watershed vary across two
climatic regions. The Rocky Mountains in
the western portion of the
watershed are part of the Cordillera
climatic region. This region is
characterized by short, cool summers and
highly variable weather.
The Prairie region is characterized by
warm-to-hot summers, extreme
seasonal temperature variations, dry
artic winter air, rain shadow
effects, and moisture deficits.
Precipitation in the region also
follows a gradient whereby the mountains
receive up to 110 cm per
year, compared to 35 cm near Taber, in
the eastern portion of the
watershed.</quote>

</placeTrait>
<placeTrait type="waterflows">
<p>
<quote>Approximately 60 percent of the
annual discharge of the Oldman
River and its tributaries flows between
April and June, due to snow
melt in the mountains. In addition to
high streamflows from spring
melting, flooding is often caused by
high intensity rainfall events
occurring in early- to mid-summer. This
was the case on June 5,
1995, when flooding caused $88,000,000
in damages in the watershed.
Streamflows are typically the lowest
during the months of August and
September, making low water levels a
particular concern in the late
summer and fall. Drought conditions in
2000 and 2001 highlighted the
susceptibility of the region to drought.
It is expected that given
future climate change and variability
there will be more intense and
numerous periods of drought.</quote>
