If they are <app>s with <rdg>s then you *can* see them in one of 
the source texts (unless they contain <supplied>).  This is 
textual information, generally present in a source document, not 
metadata, it does *not* belong in the header, IMHO. A TEI file is 
not the product of a single source. Standoff <app>s are still 
<app>s, and <app>s contain readings from real source texts.

Yes, and those appear in manuscripts as real text. They should be 
in the body (ok, arguably 'back') of the TEI file, not in 
metadata about the file.
