[tei-council] Location of <app>s for external apparatus

Hi all,

This ticket landed on my plate following Ann Arbor:

<http://purl.org/tei/bug/3497356>

The basic issue was that Jens thought a <listApp> element might be 
useful, for collecting together a set of <app> elements in an apparatus 
which is not embedded in the base text.

These were my instructions:

"MH will ask the submitter (and the TEI-L, pointing to the ticket) for 
any examples of the use of <div> which suggest that <listApp> might be 
useful (for instance, organization of <apps> into multiple <div> s with 
@type). "

However, it seems from the ticket that James, Lou and Jens himself all 
agree that <listApp> is not necessary, so I see no reason to resurrect 
this, other than to add some clarification to the relevant guidelines 
section to suggest that <app>s might be stored in a <div 
type="apparatus"> element.

If no-one has any objections, that's what I'll do, rather than going 
back to Jens or TEI-L.

Cheers,
Martin
