[tei-council] Question about attribute definitions and descriptions

[Martin Holmes]

I've made the change to an open valList and made the suggested values 
for <tag> the same as for <gi>.

But now I'm wondering why <gi> has a <datatype> and <tag> doesn't. In 
fact, I'm wondering why so many attributes in the list lack a datatype. 
They all seem to be attributes which should be data.enumerated.

Is this just a historical accident, or is there some reason or pattern 
to it?

Cheers,
Martin
