note that Roma is now at  https://github.com/TEIC/Roma, in line
with the vague policy of keeping all the contributed tools away from the
Guidelines source.

it doesn’t really make much difference whether you use Roma command line,
OxGarage, or the teitoXXX scripts. They’re all just wrappers around the same
XSLT

personally, I’d use  (for example)

    teitorelaxng foo.odd foo.rng

because it fits the same pattern as all the other teitoXXX commands
(see http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-xsl/#commandline)

people who are into Ant will enjoy Stylesheets/common/teianttasks.xml which has
macros for the common TEI stylesheet tasks.
