[tei-council] Fwd: Re: update from the TEI Tite task force

[O'Donnell, Dan]

I remember this as being very much the motivation for changing things to 
positive inclusion rather than exclusion; also the ability to reference 
specific iterations of arbitrary schemas.

The Apex discussion was very much in the context of the old method of 
doing things--i.e. when things were being excluded. I think the positive 
approach may mitigate this a lot, since it means that changes to the 
core TEI modules won't inadvertently introduce new things in Tite.

P.S. Kevin: sorry about not ccing perry here: I have a new computer and 
my address book isn't working for some reason.
