[tei-council] some attribute issues

[Lou Burnard]

You don't sound like a broken record particularly, and I'm very happy to 
patch up these details, but may I reiterate please that it is MUCH MORE 
IMPORTANT to read and comment on the new ST ?

I know that Council members have an awful lot on their plate at the 
moment, and they're not actually paid to do any of this work, but I 
really need some reassurance that we all understand and support this 
fairly major revision!

What should it be then?

Because that is the normal expected behaviour: use Unicode characters.
