[This may be showing my complete lack of knowledge about manuscript encoding.]

Are you saying that Martin's example (lifted from the standard):

 <idno type="cbeta">Taisho Tripitaka Vol. T08, No. 230</idno>

is considered to contain no linguistic content and automated
decomposition of it into it's constituent parts is of no interest or
utility?

If you are, that would surprise me, because I had assumed that it was
conceptually similar to a bibliographic reference, which my thesis
code did reasonably well on.

cheers
