[tei-council] Hyphenation discussion

[Gabriel Bodard]

My votes (in order of preference) are for:

(b) tighten up the (recommended) vocab

(a) more or less status quo

(e) if we change the attribute, change it completely because we no 
longer have a use-case for @type (and can always re-introduce if we 
acquire one later).

In the last case, is it possible to _deprecate_ @type, giving six months 
warning that it will be removed? (Or is that effectively (d)?)
