[tei-council] TEI SVG logo is broken

[Martin Holmes]

I've found that I can generate a true SVG version using Inkscape based 
on the PDF version of the file. I've added the result to SVN:

/trunk/Documents/oddmanual/TEILogo.svg

I'd suggest that we provide this version instead of the bitmap 
monstrosity that's currently there.

Cheers,
Martin
