Sorry I've taken so long to get round to doing this, but I have now 
started. Many thanks again to Paul for doing the homework on this.

Some comments

1. the current Guidelines  have only one example of a related item, and 
the relatedness is that one item is the "original" of another. Following 
your naming system (which I like) I have replaced that value with 
"otherForm" (in the case of a microprint facsimile reproduction) or 
"otherEdition" (in the case of a diplomatic edition). But maybe 
"original source" is important enough to warrant its own value?

2. Please please Paul could you choose a couple of the many examples 
provided and give me a full citation? i.e. not just the info about the 
"related item" but also the item it's related to.

3. I added the following example (from a book conveniently lingering on 
my bookshelf)

<egXML xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/Examples"><biblStruct>
    <monogr>
       <author>Tolkien, J.R.R.</author>
       <title>Den hobbit</title>
       <title type="sub">aus dem Engleschen iwwersat</title>
       <editor type="translator">Henry Wickens</editor>
       <imprint>
          <pubPlace>Esch-sur-Sûre</pubPlace>
          <publisher>Op der Lay S. àr. L</publisher>
          <date>1922</date>
       </imprint>
    </monogr>
<relatedItem type="translatedFrom" 
target="http://www.example.com/bibliography.xml#TOLK97">
Originally published in English by Harper Collins Publishers Ltd under
the title <title>The Hobbit</title>.
</relatedItem>
</biblStruct></egXML>

but need more, preferably of other types.

4. At present, my feeling remains that we shouldn't actually constrain 
these types in the ODD itself, and that just a few examples of sensible 
uses would do. However, I think Council agreed that suggested values 
list would also be helpful. In which case, a selection needs to be made 
from Paul's original email (dated 30 oct 09)
