[tei-council] TEI-XML as basis for print publications?

If anything, should grant funding come through, I imagine they might be
inclined to contract with someone like Oxford for customization of
existing tools, assuming that was mutually agreeable.

In any event, Kenneth Reed of UNC Press is going to prepare a SIG
proposal, which Council will see in due course,
