[tei-council] precision draft

[Daniel Paul O'Donnell]

Lou, I like this very much.  There's a typo below (missing period in 
prose)--I've marked it.  I think the new language right above this 
section also almost answers my unease about documenting the @target 
@pattern. I think it can be satisfied by moving one little section and 
supplying a different example. Let me post what I mean in a separate email.
