[tei-council] another High Noon proposal

[Gabriel Bodard]

For the record, I was agreeing with Sebastian when I wrote the below. 
The "major new re-architecture" I rather clumsily mentioned would be 
reversing last summer's implementation, and/or making a new rule that we 
can't use it in the Guidelines. I think Sebastian's current solution is 
fine; the panic about allowing local deletion of attributes from classes 
and contortions to avoid it is what I think we don't want to try to 
force into this release....
