[tei-council] [Fwd: META: rethinking usage= of <elementSpec>]

[David Sewell]

Sebastian,

Just to clarify: we're talking here only about eliminating @usage from
<elementSpec>, retaining it for <attDef>?

Makes sense to me. Probably rarely used by anyone. However, in
P5/Exemplars there are two files in which elementSpec[@usage] occurs:
tei_allPlus.odd and tei_odds.odd [only in 1 place each], so validation
will break if the attribute is removed from the schema until those files
are updated.
