If we have <dimensions> as a child of <facsimile> then it potentially
duplicates or contradicts <dimensions> as a child of <msDescrip>, which
is confusing.
My preference would be for an attribute such as @originalSize on
<surface>. That would at least be explicit. Or @height and @width on on
<surface> . Since <zone> is defined relative to surface you shouldn't
need it anywhere else.
