[tei-council] facsimile diagram

[Lou Burnard]

I still prefer the idea of recursive surfaces

TEI -> header, facsimile? , text?

facsimile -> front?, (surface+ | model.graphicLike+), back?)

surface -> (model.graphicLike*, surface*)

This allows for the possibility that you might have additional images 
for particularly interesting bits of the page ("zone"s in your terminologuy)

However if you're really unhappy with the recursion, I can live with

surface -> (model.graphicLike*, zone*)
zone -> (model.graphicLike*)

The big headache for me is the attributes. The draft I am working on 
proposes a new global attribute @facs to point from any element to a 
corresponding surface (or zone) but we need more than that.

James reminded me that there is work in the MPEG/ISO/W3C communities on 
defining new Xpointer schemes to point into assorted kinds of multimedia 
which we should at least acknowledge somewhere.
