[tei-council] rowing back on <mixedContent>

we decided this week to fork <content> into 

  a) a full <content> which allows any construct you like, including <textNode>
  b) a restricted <mixedContent> which does not permit <textNode>, and is interpreted
as meaning “everything is an alternation with PCDATA”

which seemed like a good idea.

I wonder now, though, why we are bothering? we are supplying <mixedContent>
simply to provide a safe environment for those who will need to make an XML DTD
from their efforts. Is that a sensible use of our time and energy?
