[tei-council] [Fwd: Library SIG recommendations]

[Lou Burnard]

I tend to agree with Laurent here.

Perry's note says that it's unreasonable to expect vendors to identify 
individual nonstandard characters, which seems plausible. But he 
suggests that the likely practice would be to represent their presence 
by  <gap> -- in which case you might just as well save a few keystrokes 
and use <g>, thus avoiding tab abuise and making the subsequent editing 
a lot easier. Purists might fo for <g ref="#unknownChar"/>
