[tei-council] Fwd: RE: @resp

[Gabriel Bodard]

Seconded.

I (as I pointed out in another venue recently) am regularly surprised to 
re-learn that @resp isn't global already. I can't imagine any element 
that I would not want to be able to say either who is responsible for 
the decisions it represents, or from what publication the information so 
tagged comes. (Certainly everything in msDesc, as well as editLike, at 
the very least.)
