[tei-council] Hyphenation discussion

[Kevin Hawkins]

I prefer (c) or (d) (on not just <lb/> but also <cb/> and <pb/>).  I 
could also live with (b).

I believe (a) doesn't improve the current lack of interoperability much.

I'm reluctant to choose (e) in case someone comes up with another 
typology of line breaks besides that expressed by @breaking.
