[tei-council] [Fwd: [ tei-Bugs-2932853 ] TEI/@version]

[Martin Holmes]

HI Lou,

It's directly analogous to application/@version, which has a nice regexp 
that Syd and I put together:

<http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-application.html>

<rng:data type="token">
  <rng:param 
name="pattern">[\d]+[a-z]*[\d]*(\.[\d]+[a-z]*[\d]*){0,3}</rng:param>
</rng:data>

token { pattern = "[\d]+[a-z]*[\d]*(\.[\d]+[a-z]*[\d]*){0,3}" }

I'd suggest merging these two attributes, which already have the same name.

Cheers,
Martin

> TEI/@version is an xsd:decimal, but TEI version numbers aren't decimals, e.g. "1.5.0".  Can I suggest changing this to something more applicable, perhaps data.enumerated.  This would allow a limited range of values, and could even be reduced to one (the current value), thus causing a validation error if one attempts to validate against the wrong TEI schema version.
