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

[Lou Burnard]

Well, here's my understanding of the history:

Chapter SH was originally called "The Independent Header" and was 
drafted for P3 by Rich Giordano. This survived into P4, but in P5 was 
removed. In 2005 or so, when Natasha and John were both on Council, they 
volunteered to rework it as a survey of the way libraries in practice 
mapped TEI Header elements to other metadata standards. There are a few 
mentions of this work as being ongoing in the minutes of that year -- 
not having all the minutes to hand I am not sure what happened to this 
work -- but doubt John can.
