[tei-council] Permissions for use of images. Was: Drafts of new Guidelines sections

[Martin Holmes]

I like the .permissions bit, but I still think a zip would be best -- 
sometimes there's a small collection of bits and pieces (emails and a 
jpg, or a couple of separate PDFs), and it would be less distracting to 
have only one file for each image, with a predictable filename.

There will also be cases where two or more images share the same 
permissions. In that case, we'd want to specify:

image_whatever_01.png
image_whatever_02.png
image_whatever.permissions.zip

Cheers,
Martin
