[tei-council] Spec for @n (ticket # 3441933)

[Martin Holmes]

In <http://purl.org/TEI/BUGS/3441933>, Michelle Dalmau rightly points 
out that the formal datatype of @n differs from the value description:

[quote]
Datatype 1–∞ occurrences of data.word

separated by whitespace

Values 	the value may contain only letters, digits, punctuation 
characters, or symbols: it may not contain whitespace or word separating 
characters. It need not be restricted to numbers.
[/quote]

My guess is that this arose because at some point the datatype was 
changed to allow multiple values, but the <valDesc> was not altered to 
match it. I've therefore expanded the valDesc as follows:

"The value consists of one or more instances of data.word. Each instance 
may contain only letters, digits, punctuation
characters, or symbols: it may not contain whitespace or word
separating characters. It need not be restricted to
numbers."

This seems an important issue and I'd like to get it into Laurentian, so 
I've committed this change. If there's something I'm missing, or if it's 
the wrong solution, please correct me asap.

Cheers,
Martin
