[tei-council] constraint prose WINITA

[Lou Burnard]

I've now checked in a revised version of the TD chapter. Most revisions 
are simplifications and clarifications of what it says, mostly about 
constraintSpecs and datatypes. I added one non-schematron example, but a 
better one would still be useful.

I get an error message on my local build because of the reference to 
@source on the <specDesc> for <egXML> presumably because this attribute 
is inherited from a class rather than locally defined. Which I thought 
we'd agreed it shouldn't. ???

Sorry for the delay: Oxygen crashed on me for the first time in years.
