[tei-council] Fwd: reviving the TEI Physical Bibliography Work Group

[Lou Burnard]

It would be interested to know a bit more about the scope of these 
chaps' lamentations. I noticed a few tweets from Andrew Prescott at 
HASTAC but nothing which gave  me much sense of their argument. Were you 
there?

I would hope that our recent work on revising PH goes some way towards 
meeting what I imagine to be their basic criticism, but who knows in the 
absence of any actual discussion.
