[tei-council] Hyphenation discussion

[Lou Burnard]

<lb/> already has a specialised attribute @ed which means  "this is the 
edition in which this linebreak occurs here". If it didn't I can imagine 
having exactly the same discussion about that.

That said, I cannot see why this is a recipe for confusion. Surely it is 
the reverse: we are specifying a particular additional property for this 
element -- that it does or doesnt interrupt words despite appearances to 
the contrary  --  instead of relying on the very generic @type mechanism 
which just allows us to say "theres some property or other I want to 
specify".

Not quite sure what you mean by "using existing certainy code", but I 
don't think it's relevant. Whatever attribute we decide to use, there 
may be a need to discuss how certain we are about its applicability, for 
which existing certainty mechanisms are (more than) adequate. But that's 
nothing to do with what attribute we use.
