[tei-council] naming names again (<precision> and <certainty>)

[Daniel Paul O'Donnell]

I can live with @match. We should be careful about allowing the 
@target/@(pattern|path|match) kludge dictate our thinking on this 
though. We're really introducing the ability to use xpath2. @target is 
simply a URL shorthand for //*[xml:id='x']/. Mixing syntaxes and 
dividing paths over multiple attributes like this should, IMO, really be 
seen as poor practice, however convenient it might seem.
