Hrmmm... I think that is an assumption. I don't care one iota 
what the ids actually are... I never look at them really (just 
use them in a variety of ways).  If processing the Guidelines 
once and using slightly longer ids would solve the problem once 
and for all (and just add the rule that all our ids start with 
tei_) then fair enough... that doesn't bother me really.

Yes, best way.  He was very good, thought provoking yet funny.
