[tei-council] Glines index page

[Martin Holmes]

I don't want to start a fight, or re-start an old one, or open old 
wounds. But I do want to say: I think what we have now is not... well, 
_optimal_. Am I the only one that feels this way? If so, of course I'll 
slink away to my burrow and never mention it again.

Cheers,
Martin
