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

[Kevin Hawkins]

To close the loop (you all know how much I like to do that), I now think 
it would be better to leave this unfinished work as is and focus 
instead, as we've previously discussed, on incorporating relevant 
portions of the Best Practices for TEI in Libraries into the Guidelines.

Still, since we have both Specs/ and Specs-Unused/ , what if we create a 
Guidelines-Unused/ to complement Guidelines/ ?  (And then we'd move 
SH-OtherMetadataStandards.xml to there.)
