[tei-council] SH-OtherMetadataStandards.xml: the missing chapter

Folks,

I just came across Source/Guidelines/en/SH-OtherMetadataStandards.xml . 
  From comments in the file, it looks like John Walsh, Natasha Smith, 
and others from the SIG on Libraries were once involved in drafting this 
but it never made it into the Guidelines.

Does anyone know whether this was rejected for inclusion in the 
Guidelines, or was the work just never completed?  It includes a number 
of things that made their way in some form into the latest revision of 
the Best Practices for TEI in Libraries (though I have quibbles with how 
many things are stated in "SH"), and I was thinking that since we 
decided to incorporate things from the Best Practices into the 
Guidelines, it seems like a good way to start would be to get SH into a 
good enough form for inclusion in the Guidelines.  I'm willing to take 
the lead on that and ask for feedback on my revised draft from the SIG 
on Libraries.

Objections?  Does anyone have notes on previous objections to the text, 
things that were meant to be incorporated, etc.?

--Kevin
