[tei-council] TEI Stylesheets, the road less travelled

[Gabriel Bodard]

My only objection to moving the TEI XSLTs into Github would be that we 
(as Sebastian knows) use the XSLT to generate the EpiDoc Guidelines, by 
including them as an svn:external within our Subversion repo. I don't 
think there's an easy way to do that with a git repo, is there?
