mh...I don't agree with this. I can see lots of potential uses of 
@scheme for <gi>locus</gi> as it is defined in the guidelines: 
"identifies the foliation scheme in terms of which the location is being 
specified.".

Indeed, as I am sure other people who have worked with manuscripts can 
confirm, the same codex, for instance, can include several systems of 
foliation/pagination added over the years and centuries, following 
different readings, different arrangements of the folios, different 
conventions, different interventions on the book itself. To encode these 
parallelisms or conflicts between folio numbers can be useful to study 
the tradition/reading of the text as well as to render various outputs 
of the same source.

If you think another existing element can do the trick fine, but 
otherwise I would keep @scheme.
