[tei-council] lite final update -- wot about w?

[Lou Burnard]

Indeed yes, and there is an example showing how to use <seg type="lex">.

The counter argument is

a) lots of people do tokenisation and it seems sensible to offer a 
simple solution for that as well as the generic <seg> -- just as we 
offer both pb and milestone

b) why then do we have pc (which is sugar for <seg type="punct"> or 
something? )


<s> is slightly different from <seg>, since it's for end to end 
segmentation.
