[tei-council] reconsidering model.glossLike (bugs 3565137)

[James Cummings]

Lou,

If I'm understanding correctly, does that mean that the list of 
elements with (1) (2) will not have <certainty> as a child, and 
those with (1)(3) will lose <gloss>,<equiv>, and <altIdent>?

I don't think many people will have used <gloss> on those 
elements, and as long as they retain <desc>, I don't see bad 
side-effects from doing this.

Anyone else?

-James
