[tei-council] let's sort out the <w> problem first...

About time, too!  :-)

I generally like (b), but would allow model.pPart.edit and
mdoel.hiLike in addition to, rather than instead of, model.segLike. 

The MONK project has been intermittently working on a serious P5
customization that includes, among other things, reasonable content
for <w>. We took the element (as opposed to class) approach, and had
started developing a list of what elements should be allowed inside
<w>. It will take a bit of skimming through old e-mail, but I would
be happy to post that list here, if you like.
