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

[Gabriel Bodard]

For what it's worth, I really don't like the idea of the element name 
being a processing instruction (if nothing else because most editions 
*don't* actually want to completely suppress or expunge said text). I 
want the element name to mean, "This text is in the source text, but the 
editor things it doesn't really belong/was included in error."

I personally can't think of anything better than <superfluous>, and only 
tried to think of something shorter in case anyone objected to such a 
long element name.

(Are there any objections to the element per se, before we get embroiled 
in naming wars?)
