I like this a lot, since I have banging my head at this very problem a 
couple of times.  Purist might wince that this gives you much more 
changes to shoot yourself in the foot, but we have to take some risks in 
life.   I was wondering though, if you would allow parts of the 
apparatus nest, for example
 <app>
   <rdg wit="#w1 #w2">Here is some stuff <app><rdg wit="#w1"> in witness 
one</rdg><rdg wit="#w2"><gap/></rdg></app></rdg>
  <rdg wit="#w3"> We have some other stuff</rdg>
 </app>
