[tei-council] TEI TITE question

[Gabriel BODARD]

I've just commented. (Disclaimer--I'm not on TEI-L these days, so I 
missed whatever discussion there was there.)

I think the answer to that ticket must be very much tied up with what 
we're discussing here (obviously).

(May I also put in a plea for James not to be so coy, and to summarise 
his arguments against on the ticket, because almost no one is going to 
click through to two blog posts from Sourceforge! I didn't. ;-) )
