definitely. 

in the images I will send you shortly, you could show
the one called "lgpn.jpg". Its a screen shot of the
Lexicon of Greek Personal, which is a database
of 250,000 <person> records marked up in TEI XML
using personography. The screen shot shows a combined
map and timeline derived from data - a demonstration that
TEI XML is rich enough to generate this sort of thing
easily.

I am sending you 6 images shortly to use. Four
of them are the same reference page in English, Italian,
Japanese and Chinese; one is a Chinese table of contents;
the last is a shot of Roma in Chinese. You can use this
to say that the TEI is taking its I18N seriously. We
have Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, and Italian
all done now (more or less) for the reference documentation,
waiting on German, with some chance
of Portuguese and Russian this year. The Chinese
are now working on translating/adapting examples,
which will be ready for the TEI members meeting this autumn.

indeed. we have submitted the first draft of a profile
of the TEI for representing ISO standards, which is accompanied
by transformations to and from Microsoft Word 2007. It makes
use of MathML and Word tables and Math in their own namespace,
and makes extensive use of Schematron constraints. The single ODD
source is used to maintain 4 separate versions of the profile

 - light, with few constraints
 - normal, with ISO structure constraints
 - extended, with extra namespace as abobe
 - ODD-enhanced, for those who want to write ISO standards about XML 
languages

IMPORTANT NOTE: we do not have permission from ISO
to trumpet this around without telling them. So mention it,
but don't make a big deal out of it, please.

I think that was left saying that we would be providing
worked examples of stylesheets to accompany sample
texts, along side the Boot Book.

ATILF in France and the National Digital Archive
in Taiwan, to show we have partners

this was on the Internationalisation Tag Set (ITS) Recommendation
published in 2007
