[tei-council] facsimile - low-end markup

[Dot Porter]

Would it make a difference if we allowed @url on <milestone> and <cb>
in addition to <pb>? I was going to say milestoneLike but having @url
on <lb> and <fw> doesn't make quite as much sense.

I would also like to see a separate <facsimile> structure for those
cases when there is more than one set of image files, but I also think
that the proposed pb at url = @coords will be useful for a lot of
projects.
