[tei-council] TEI TITE question

[Kevin Hawkins]

Wait, now we're talking about mapping between various XML schemes, each 
of which represent italics.  This is a different matter.

My point is that we should offer a clear way to represent 
undifferentiated italicized text in TEI.  Right now, "<hi>" is not a 
clear way to do this.
