I agree that the ticket was misimplemented.  I believe the error crept 
in based on this summary of the action:

https://sourceforge.net/p/tei/feature-requests/310/?limit=10&page=1#b68c

and the following comment that was implemented according to that 
summary.  But neither matches what was described at:

https://sourceforge.net/p/tei/feature-requests/310/#6aba

I realize this went out 1.5 years ago, but I think it's best if we undo it.
