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

[Lou Burnard]

1. I suggest that (4) should have a slightly higher priority than its 
number implies

2. (5) seems a different exercise to me. And what does it mean exactly? 
Specifically, what happens to the existing Profiles subdirectory?

While it might be conceptually simpler to have "that subset of the 
stylesheets needed to make Guidelines" as a distinct object (whether on 
svn or github or anywhere else), surely we'd also like to go on 
promoting the stylesheets as a generic tool for others to customize? or 
are you officially abandoning that quixotic goal?
