[tei-council] Usefulness of http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0/

[James Cummings]

Hiya,

I'd agree with Stuart's suggestion but personally would not 
mention DTDs at all.

Also I'd point to http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/ as where 
the P5 Guidelines are (rather than assume they want the English 
version).

So I might suggest the following modification:

"The full text of the current TEI P5 Guidelines is freely 
available online at:
[http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/].
and a full RelaxNG schema for the TEI is available at:
[http://www.tei-c.org/release/xml/tei/custom/schema/relaxng/tei_all.rng].
Historical versions of the TEI's recommendations and other 
materials are accessible in the Vault at:
[http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/P5/]"

Does that sound better?  Of course there is no requirement for 
anything dereferenceable to be at that URL because namespaces are 
not URIs, just take the form of them... but that pendantry aside 
since we *do* have a page there making a change like this seems 
reasonable to me.
