And it isn't like the idea of storing parliamentary records in TEI is a 
new idea.  A few years ago I was invited to discuss TEI at a technical 
subcommittee of the History of Parliament project which was trying to 
get the various disparate parliamentary papers digitisation projects to 
all adopt a similar strain of XML.  (Some are indeed using TEI I believe.)
