[tei-council] listRelation membership in model.biblLike

[Lou Burnard]

I agree with Kevin that this is all a bit of a mess. The original 
intention -- provide some way of encoding RDF triples by means of the 
`<relation>` element seems to have got buried. And I have found nothing  
in the record to explain why it was decided to implement this by 
changing  the members of model.biblLike. It looks suspiciously like a 
last minute kludge rather than a considered decision.

I suggest that Hugh, Sebastian, and other interested parties reconsider 
the implementation.
