[tei-council] CH and BCP 47 again

[Kevin Hawkins]

There is no particular exception to use of @xml:lang on <pron> that I am 
aware of.  As a global attribute, @xml:lang may be used on any element 
but need not be used anywhere.

I am inclined not to bother inserting @xml:lang on these examples.  If 
you encode a dictionary, every <pron> will likely use the same script as 
every other <pron>, and this will be the only part of the dictionary 
using this script (whatever it is).  I can't imagine a use case for 
recording on individual <pron>s.

--K.
