[tei-council] biblscope and imprint

Kevin's recommended tagging below contradicts what it currently says in 
the Guidelines:

"<p>When the item being cited is a journal article, the
<gi>imprint</gi> element describing the issue in which it appeared
may contain <gi>biblScope</gi> elements for volume and
page numbers, together with a <gi>date</gi> element.
  </p>"

That doesn't mean it's wrong of course... but that para should probably 
be removed.

There is also the rather nasty Thaller example in section #COBICOL which 
contains an analytic, followed by two monogrs. The article in question 
was published twice, once in a journal and once as a free standing 
monograph. If we put the page numbers for the journal publication inside 
the analytic, as Kevin suggests, how do we know that they are not 
relevant to the second <monogr>?
