[tei-council] Making absolutely bare a little more bare

[Peter Boot]

TEI Bare, as I understood it, was always meant to be a demo 
customisation, something that could persuade a sceptical public that TEI 
needn't be too difficult. In a real life situation, bare will never be 
sufficient. From that perspective, I'd think we can miss the elements 
that Laurent mentions, and needn't worry about table.
