[tei-council] Hyphenation discussion

[James Cummings]

I think I agree with Elena here, and vote d.

I'd prefer to leave @type available for saying what 'type' of line 
break, column break, etc. separate from whether this is in a word or 
should be rendered without a break,etc.  This is not only because I 
suspect that it will prove useful in use-cases I've not sat down and 
thought about, but they seem like (very) slightly different things.  The 
indication of what type of breaking this is providing with respects to 
whether it is in a word or not has always struck me as a hair-breadth 
different from what type of breaking it is in some general sense. Hence 
I think using @type for this in the first place might have been slightly 
wrong.

So I'd vote for keeping @type with the semantics it has elsewhere of 
classifying the element itself by some form of typology and have 
@breaking (or whatever, I've no better suggestions) to indicate what 
this line/column/page breaking means with respect to its surroundings.
