[tei-council] FR 3106829 on <quote> and <floatingText> (was Re: (no subject))

[Kevin Hawkins]

This is good, but I think "or appear within  an explicit quotation" 
should be "or simply appear as an explicit quotation".  I've posted my 
slightly revised version in the ticket in SF.

I think if there are no further objections, this is ready for 
implementation!
