[tei-council] Minor error in Guidelines

[Kevin Hawkins]

I'm wondering whether others feel that we should add a bit to

http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/Working/tcw20.xml

or perhaps more properly

P5/Source/Guidelines/en/style-guide.txt

stating this distinction.  There might be other things that those who 
have been editing the Guidelines keep in mind but haven't written down 
for the rest of us.

Such a passage would be similar to this, which I found in tcw20 and is 
similarly prescriptive about encoding practice:

###

In most chapters, the two character code is also used as a prefix for 
the @xml:id values given to each <div> element. Note that every <div> 
element carries an @xml:id value, whether or not it is actually 
referenced explicitly elewhere in the Guidelines.

###

Is this worthwhile, or would none of us ever remember to consult this 
anyway?

--K.
