 From memory, in that case we worked on a separate freestanding TEI 
document in the workgroup until it was more or less ready. It was an 
ODD, so it contained several new tagdocs. I  added these to the main 
directory,  split the new document into two major additions which I then 
presented to the Council for consideration in a series of emails saying 
(again, from memory, so you may wish to check the archive) "I propose to 
add this chunk of text at this point". This meant that it was possible 
to read all the changes independently of the current state of affairs. 
Once the Council had expressed an opinion (which did take quite a bit of 
fiddling) however I just integrated the parts concerned, and continued 
to tweak them in response to the comments which followed until everyone 
was happy (or exhausted).

  As far as I know, that's why we have a version control system.
