[tei-council] Example of <app> with multiple <lem>s

[James Cummings]

Have we reached any conclusion on this?

I believe that I agree with Elena that you should only have one 
<lem> as a direct child of <app> but that each <rdgGrp> may also 
have one <lem> if required. I think the note at
http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-rdgGrp.html
is incorrect. I think the second example at:
http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-app.html
is perfectly fine.

I would change the content model of <rdgGrp> to only allow a 
single <lem> if possible or test for that with schematron; 
likewise I would make sure the content model of <app> only allows 
a single <lem> which I think it already does? I think we should 
change the note at 
http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-rdgGrp.html 
to say "Note that only one lem element may appear *as a direct 
child of * a single apparatus entry but an additional lem element 
may be found inside each rdgGrp." or something like that.

I believe this agrees with Lou's underlying point that <app> and 
<rdgGrp> should mirror each other (<rdgGrp> conceptually being a 
sort of nested <app> for grouping purposes).
