If you really find differences in (b), don't those count as a Tite 
variant?  Why would you conclude that they don't have their own variant?

In any case, something is still not right.  Their prose documentation 
mentions <handShift/>, does not mention <biblScope>, etc., yet all of 
these are still in the DTD.  So they never got around to changing the 
DTD, or they are as devious as Sebastian fears.  I suspect incompetence, 
not deviousness.  Will write back to Greg to inquire.
