[tei-council] testing facsimile

I have tried to apply the current draft to a real life example,
a picture of a WW1 gravestone I took near Thiepval a couple
of weeks ago.  Can people confirm that this is how it should be used?

I define a single surface with an associated image, then some
zones within it. Four of those are used to link lines
of transcribed text, and the other is used to describe a closeup
of part of the object; only the latter has its own extra <graphic>.

The @xdim and @ydim on <surface> are the result of a
longish discussion I just had with Lou about the relationship
between the image, which shows more than the gravestone,
and the object visible therein. The @xdim and @ydim define
the grid on which all child <zone>s depend; the @box on
<surface> describes the surface area.

Now I have to attempt an HTML rendering ....

PS no, Private Moulds is not a relative, I just picked him
at random.

  <surface xml:id="grave"
       xdim="1024"
       ydim="681"
       box="6 354 336 914">
    <graphic url="gravestone.jpg"/>
    <zone xml:id="grave-partial" box="383 182 684 356">
      <graphic url="gravestone-partial.jpg"/>
    </zone>
