[tei-council] Badges

[James Cummings]

This seems like a good idea.  The 'Powered by TEI' on an individual 
page, should this be linking back to the TEI website, or should it be 
linking to the TEI version of the document/page in question?  Since I'd 
like to see more people exposing their underlying TEI, the latter might 
encourage them to do so.  But I recognise that is not as good as a 
marketing device.
