[tei-council] Unfinished <quotation> element in example?

I support allowing members of model.encodingDescPart with have 
specialized attributes to be empty elements -- that is, changing 
model.pLike+ to model.pLike*.  We might get questions from people about 
why certain members of model.encodingDescPart require at least one <p> 
inside while others don't, but I think our rationale for doing so is 
pretty sound.

Should this be a ticket for discussion with a wider community, or should 
we just do this?
