No, you're not being thick. I sent the earlier message in a hurry
while quickly scanning through my email, and in looking back at the new
W3C draft I am realizing that to the extent that it strengthens the XML
stylesheet framework, it perhaps makes the MIME type on XML less
critical. So I guess its effect on the TEI mimetype discussion is at
best neutral.
