Nicely done, John. A few explanations y'all might find helpful
follow.
* 16.2.3 W3C element Scheme #1: "22" vs "25" in paths:
My recollection is I double-checked this just because it seemed
wrong to me, too, and that's the way it is. There is a helpful
commented-out note for one of them:
<!--<note type="cit" resp="#sdb">Jon Bosak's XMLification of
Moby Lexical Tools' plain text version of Hamlet. As of <date
value="2004-12-22"/>, the node
xpath1(/*[1]/*[8]/*[2]/*[25]/*[2]) (or, perhaps more usefully,
xpath1(/PLAY[1]/ACT[3]/SCENE[1]/SPEECH[19]/LINE[1])) selects the
element <q><![CDATA[<LINE>To be, or not to be: that is the
question:</LINE>]]></q>.</note> -->
* 16.2.3 W3C element Scheme #2: typo "through line number"
Nope, not a typo.
The Through Line Number records the lines from the start of the
play or poem to the end without starting again in a different
scene or section.

In some encoding systems (unique to Shakespeare? Idunno) there is a
<TLN> element.
* 16.2.4 TEI XPointer Schemes #1: "xpath1. pointer scheme"
I don't get it. I couldn't find the string "th1." anywhere in the
chapter. Are you asking about an extraneous period or why it's
called "xpath1" instead of "xpath"?
While we're at it, does anyone know if XPath2 is officially a
recommendation yet? If so, we can remove the comments around
<!-- xpath2 deleted until
standardized <name type="xpscheme">xpath2</name>, -->
and those around #SATSXP2.
* 16.2.4.1 Introduction to TEI Pointers #3: typo?
Really good question. I do not know if the authors intended
"xpointer scheme draft" to be a proper noun or not. My instinct is
to replace "with a W3C draft specification known as the xpointer
scheme draft" with "with the W3C draft specification
<title>XPointer xpointer() Scheme</title>". For the bibliography
the spec and thus info is at http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr-xpointer/.
* [various] [Should XPointer schemes be indicated with parens?]
I am so glad you said that! I think they look better with parens,
too. This is a stylesheet issue: in prose they are all encoded as
<name> with type="xpscheme".
* 16.9.4 Well-formedness and Validity of Stand-off Markup #1: typo
I had intended a colon followed by a space.
