[tei-council] Suppressed text: summary of position (FR 2242434)

[David Sewell]

I don't have a strong case to make pro or con the proposal from the
point of view of epigraphy or manuscript editing, not being a
specialist. However, I would vote for the element with the name
<suppress> (not <suppressed>) because of its utility as a
quasi-processing instruction for born-digital documents. Suppose I am
writing minutes for a TEI Board discussion of the TEI Tite bids that
includes names of vendors. But those names should be kept confidential
in any Web version of the minutes. So:

 We agreed that <suppress reason="redact">Vendor X</suppress> is ...

which could be rendered as

 We agreed that [redacted] is ...

Of course there are other ways to accomplish the same thing, and I do
not feel passionate about this if someone has a good objection.
