I think generally an absence of data in this case doesn't mean that 
there isn't a source, simply that the data isn't provided.  I think even 
if the guidelines said that no <sourceDesc> mean it didn't have a 
source, then people who produce temporary dynamic TEI documents from XML 
databases and the like would stop providing them, when really the 
database query is the source of the document.
