Dear Sir/Madam,

in our department we are designing an inter-department XML format that is a
subset of TEI. We would like to be able to mark up a quotation inside a
sentence, without breaking the sentence. We would like the same to do for
<stage> insise <s>.

What is the reasoning behind TEI not permiting this kind of markup? It
would be great if our format could stay TEI-conformant.

Best Regards
