[tei-council] divliminality

[James Cummings]

I'd agree with Brett (and don't think that departing Council 
members are in any way lame ducks...there is still time to 
accomplish things).

If there still remain substantive issues after Sebastian's 
investigations, then we should put them before the community if 
possible.  But I think this could probably be done with a simple 
poll.  There are only 3 or 4 majorly different ways of encoding 
each of them.
