Not yet. This is one of the things I propose (if the Council agrees) we 
should do. The discussion Martin cites below very much confused me, and 
nobody else in either Council nor the subst subgroup we convened was 
able to cast light on what anyone would mean by including sic, corr, reg 
or orig as direct children of tei:subst.

I think we can pretty vigorously defend the case that they shouldn't be 
used. I just want us to survey to see how many people *do* regularly so 
use them, and would not be in a position to rectify this if we made the 
change to the schema. Do I have general agreement to send a surveying 
question to TEI-L?

Thanks,

G
