d. The relationGrp element will be removed from the TEI on 2014-06-17

keep it simple…

     - no “may” but “will”
     - no uncommon abbreviations (“TEI-C”)
     - no geek phrases ( “source code”)
     - no redundancy (its its removed on a certain date, then of course it won’t be available afterwards)
