[tei-council] lists and <label>

[Daniel O'Donnell]

There isn't a standard rendering for sigla, though italics is one I've
never been asked to provide. Some of the options I've encountered in
sending my own work to presses are: no formatting (increasingly
popular), small caps (rare and old fashioned), bold (my preference), and
in a prize winning tei-encoded work on Caedmon's Hymn I know of (plug
plug), bold and color-coded.
