I agree with this plus the additions mentioned by Sebastian.  A small 
observation:

May be I am reading too much here, but it seems that this second option 
  (i.e. having your list of persons/places, for instance, in another TEI 
document) as it is written in this prose is less preferred, while I 
think it will be the most used/useful especially for those projects that 
have a gazetteer or a substantial set of persons.
