[tei-council] another High Noon proposal

[Gabriel Bodard]

Isn't that a bit misleading? I would have expected (and I think wanted) 
to see something like:

... att.typed (@type)

So that, as with any other attribute, I can go to look at the definition 
of that attribute in the place where it is defined, see other examples 
of its use, etc. (I appreciate this is exactly what is making Lou and 
Syd uncomfortable, but if we somewhere carefully express this as 
"acquires the following attribute(s) from att.typed"--rather than 
"acquires att.typed, namely the following attribute(s)"--that might be 
easier?)

So maybe what we really want to see is:

... att.typed[modified] (@type)

or something?

I think I feel quite strongly that if we modify a class for a single 
element, then that should be transparently reflected in the guidelines 
as well as the schema.
