no disagreement there.

but you may be forgetting that we discussed this in October
(see http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/Meetings/tcm40.xml)
and came to firmer conclusions than are mentioned in the ticket.
The decision was to add a new <constraint> element.

There is an action on me before the next council meeting to "prepare a 
draft proposal, including examples (possibly drawn from the many places 
in the Guidelines where we say: do this in such and such a way, even 
though it cannot, as yet, be enforced)"

as ever, time constraints have intervened.
