[tei-council] More Chapter 8 oddities

[Kevin Hawkins]

I agree that this is likely presented as in the source document, much 
like the transliterated Russian title we discussed a few months ago.

(The source doucment is at http://books.google.com/books?id=DskfAQAAIAAJ 
, where the book is described as being about computerized speech, which 
probably meant IRC logs.  Snippet search isn't turning up the cited 
passage for me in order to verify, but I think we are just seeing ICR 
logs encoded in TEI.)

--K.
