I'm open-minded as to whether this really needs doing; final disposition 
of the chapters is something we have already decided to defer anyway.

OK, have added a para :

<p>The <gi>app</gi> element is in one sense a more  sophisticated and
complex version of the <gi>choice</gi> element introduced in <ptr
target="#COEDCOR"/> as a way of marking points where the encoding of a 
passage
in a single source may be carried out in more than one way. Unlike
<gi>choice</gi>, however, the <gi>app</gi> element allows for the
representation of many different versions of the same passage taken
from different sources.</p>

Already done, I think.

Also already done: I think there was another ticket about removing the
