[tei-council] Fwd: [tei:feature-requests] #452 <group> should be a member of att.typed

[Lou Burnard]

This seems uncontroversial, if a bit weird, to me. Someone like to agree 
on the ticket so I can do it?

Thanks for the example. I can see no logical reason why we shouldn't 
allow @type on |<group>| in the same way as we do on |<text>| and 
|<div|> . However, I am quite curious about the reasons that led you to 
treat each chapter as a single text, rather than as a div. To my mind a 
chapter is an incomplete object, whereas the definition (admittedly 
rather vague) of a |<text>| suggests that it is complete in itself. I 
don't know enough (or anything much!) about this material so I cannot 
judge how pertinent that distinction is to your work. However, as 
aforesaid, I see no problem in adding @type to |<group>|.

When grouping texts, and especially with nested group hierarchies, it 
would be helpful to assign a type to a group. If one regards <group> as 
a means to create hierarchies of texts, just like <div> is a mean to 
create hierarchies within texts, the same logic of distinguishing 
hierarchical elements by a type applies.
