TWo comments, as I attempt to implement it!

(a)
Presumably the <locusGrp> element should be repeatable? and it should 
have a @scheme attribut which its child <locus> elements will all 
inherit? Then you can have a discontinuous sequences of pages with two 
different foliations:
<locusGrp scheme="#a">
<locus from="f1" to "f4"/>
<locus from="f8" to "f9"/>
</locusGrp>
<locusGrp scheme="#b">
<locus from="p3" to "p5"/>
<locus from="p44" to "p48"/>
</locusGrp>

(b)
Torsten proposes an example like this:
  <msItem>
<locusGrp>
<locus from="13" to="26">Bl. 13--26</locus>
<locus from="37" to="58">37--58</locus>
<locus from="82" to="96">82--96</locus>
</locusGrp>
<note>Stücke von Daniel Ecklin’s Reise ins h. Land</note>
</msItem>

My German is rubbish but I think "Bl." here is the German equivalent for 
  "Ff" or "Fols", which means that the content of the <locus> elements 
need to be concatenated (with some rules about punctuation between them 
maybe) when the locationlist is produced ?

I am guessing that "Stucke" means something like "Pieces" or 
"Fragments", which is why he has chosen  <note> rather than  <title> for 
the summary title used.

It would be nice to see another example too...
