[tei-council] pb, lb

[Matthew James Driscoll]

I've always maintained that the "b" stood for "boundary", rather than
"break" (an idea I believe I got from Lou originally), and insisted that
they be put at the front of the thing in question -- don't make no sense
otherwise.

No discussion about changing the name of the element sfaik. But 
agreement to clarify that th "b" should be understood as implying you 
put the thing at the "beginning"

krekt. " By convention, pb/

elements should appear at the start of the page to which they refer." is 
what it says in the Good Book.
