The minutes from Ann Arbor could be mistaken, or someone may have been
mistaken in asserting that we were actually still using teilite rather
than tei_lite . Does it matter? The current state of affairs is what we
all agreed we wanted!

I dont know when we started generating from tei_lite, but I think
Sebastian is right in suggesting it was well before the AA meeting.
