[tei-council] [Fwd: TEI-PB P5 gap analysis 1: P5 11.1]

[Arianna Ciula]

I think these are all very good points, but I also think that -as Murray 
implies- the one below is probably the first thing that needs to be talcked:

> This system seems easy to reconcile with the facsimile-focussed

So, does this mean that the PB group will start working on the 
description of these structural relationships and what would be the best 
way to express them in TEI?
