[tei-council] FR nuncles: new element tei:objectType

[Lou Burnard]

As already noted on the ticket, the trouble with "object" is that (to my 
eyes at least) it is ambiguous between a specific object ("Excalibur") 
and a class of objects ("ceremonial swords"), in a way that "material" 
generally isn't.
