I think "character set" is at least misleading, if not in error, and
have removed it. I think Brett's suggested "script, and regional or
other variant" *does* provide a gain in precision, a gain that I
don't think we want here at all. We'd like to keep the prose here as
abstract as we reasonably can, no?

I don't think they need to be declared first. I think if you open
tei_bare.rnc and move the lines
 model.placeStateLike = notAllowed
 model.publicationStmtPart = notAllowed
 model.qLike = notAllowed
to the end of the file, you still end up with a perfectly valid,
usable schema.
