[tei-council] listXXXs and relations

[Lou Burnard]

Council will I hope recall the plan to give all listXXXX elements common 
content models. I have now implemented the last part of this, which has 
necessitated a slightly suboptimal hack in order to make <listPerson> 
consistent with the rest. The element <particLinks> which used to exist 
as a special treat within <particDesc> and consequently had been 
proposed as an extra within <listPerson> had two functions: it provided 
an informal description of relationships ("all these people are known to 
be from the Ciulla clan") and it acted as a wrapper for <relation> 
elements. As the tense of the previous sentence implies, I have now 
replaced it by a more general element called <relationGrp> which acts in 
the same way, and which I have now added as an alternative to <relation> 
in all the listXXX elements. The suboptimal part of this is that I have 
introduced it as an alternative to rather than a replacement for 
ungrouped <relation> elements. This seemed a safer course, though I am 
open to persuasion otherwise.
