[tei-council] divliminality

[Brett Barney]

Well, my vote is for going forward with the plan to invite community participation. Simply bowing to EEBO-TCP practices would be hard to justify, I think. Different members of the council have different opinions on how these textual phenomena should be handled, and my understanding was that we want to solicit the opinions of others in the TEI world, in part at least, so that we can try to get some perspective on our own biases. We may even find that there are ways of handling divliminals that we haven't considered but that folks who encounter them regularly in their projects have ingeniously cooked up. Or we may find that no one wants to play, of course. But we won't know unless we provide the opportunity.

My lame duck two cents,
Brett
