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

[Gabriel BODARD]

For the record, I think I just collect loose apps together in a <p> (or 
sometimes one per <p>, I think my XSLT doesn't care which). In principle 
a listApp would be useful (although it would only be *nice*, rather than 
fixing something that's actually broken), although app should of course 
continue to be available in <p> because we also use them for inline 
apparatus features.
