[tei-council] Popup bibliography references in the Guidelines

Checking for the odd bullet points

IE 11 does indeed push the list bullets from the first list
on the page (the list beginning "the note element defined in section
3.8 ...") over to the left margin and therefore overlays the
table of contents box.

Safari 5.1.7 displays fine
Firefox 30 displays fine
Chrome 35 displays fine

(I haven't installed Comodo Dragon or Ice Dragon on this machine yet:
  those are my usual browsers -- locked down versions of the Mozilla
  and Chromium code respectively.)
  
  
Testing the links

Safari 5.1.7 works well as both mouseover tip and onclick popup, though
   those do not (of course) exactly match.
Firefox 30 ditto.
Chrome 35 ditto.
IE 11 ditto.
