I was thinking we would make the change in the tag after creating the 
tag. Of course, this would actually make it a branch, but that's just 
terminology, really; in Subversion there's no difference between a 
branch and a tag, except that you're not really supposed to commit 
changes to a tag.

I was thinking of all the previous versions in the Vault:

<http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/#previous>

which do contain spec files:

<http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/P5/2.5.0/xml/tei/odd/Source/Specs/>

which all link to the lastSuccessfulBuild:

<http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/P5/2.5.0/xml/tei/odd/Source/Specs/TEI.xml>

  <?xml-model 
href="http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/jenkins/job/TEIP5/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/release/xml/tei/odd/p5.nvdl" 
type="application/xml" 
schematypens="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/nvdl/ns/structure/1.0"?>

As you point out, that's obviously silly.

Those files are (IIRC) on the TEI server in Virginia, and I don't have a 
working login for that server, but I think James and Sebastian do; 
perhaps one of them could change those xml-model pointers to:

<http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/P5/2.5.0/xml/tei/odd/p5.nvdl>

Cheers,
Martin
