[tei-council] facsimile - low-end markup

[Dot Porter]

Yes, yes, yes. Conal's minimum recommendation is exactly what, at
minimum, I would like to see. It would work for projects with only one
set of image files, which would be (I expect) most projects.

For projects with multiple sets of images, we might simply point to
METS (for now) rather than trying to put in something of our own.

This is most easily done by adding an optional @coords attribute to elements which can appear inside <text>. e.g.
