[tei-council] backtrack on change to <char>?

However, the side effect is to make a module dependency between "gaiji" and "figures", as the <char> thing will not do its job unless "figures" is loaded. I don't think this is in the spirit of TEI design so far, which usually dictates that any element depended on by two modules should be in the core.

What is the other module that depends on figure?

Maybe the best solution, but then perhaps Roma should warn people that 
select gaiji and not figures that they may be building something 
inconsistent.
