[tei-council] working with translation

[Martin Holmes]

The only thing that looks slightly risky to me is in this template:

   <xsl:template name="check">

where if the choose/when is selected, you end by doing this:

	<xsl:apply-templates
	    select="*|processing-instruction()|comment()|text()"/>

while if the otherwise is selected, you do this:

	<xsl:apply-templates
	    select="@*|*|processing-instruction()|comment()|text()"/>

In the "when" case, any attributes which are not @xml:lang or 
@versionDate will be lost. I think it's unlikely that any <desc>, 
<gloss> or <remarks> would have any other attributes in this context, 
but it's conceivable.

Cheers,
Martin
