[tei-council] Suggestion for a new Guidelines TOC document

[James Cummings]

If we were to be renaming chapters then ... I don't like 
"Ubiquitous elements" as you correctly guessed.  The reason being 
I think they should be simply named since for many people reading 
the Guidelines English is not their first language. Clarity in 
the title would help.

Following on from clarity, I'd want any renaming also to give 
precision. ;-)  Elements available in all TEI documents is just 
_incorrect_ as I've always argued, we can be sure that they are 
all available only if you are using tei_all.

'Core Elements'?
'Common Elements'?
'Frequently Used Elements'? (ick!)

I'm all for changing 5. to just  "Non-standard Characters and Glyphs"

I'm less certain about chapter 11. Calling it just 'Primary 
Sources' isn't terrible, but given its major shift (from P4) 
towards image facsimile and genetic editing, is there a new title 
that might describe its current state better?
