[tei-council] <foliation> in MS

[Arianna Ciula]

I agree foliation should be definitively repeatable, but I can see an 
argument for making others repeatable too ...but that's going too far 
for now...

I also agree with David that it may seem confusing to have snippets of 
text all in one sequence without interruption within the same example 
box, especially when that sequence means 'this belong to the same 
document' in other cases; may be we can differentiate those examples 
stylistically somehow? this is a job that requires editing the examples 
one by one though...so not for now...

I think, in the medium term, there is room for improving the examples in 
general e.g. making them citable as Dan, I think, pointed out.
