[tei-council] rowing back on <mixedContent>

[Sebastian Rahtz]

if people want DTDs, thats fine by me. I’ll convert their Pure ODD markup to DTD syntax for them.
However, it may well be invalid DTD if they don’t understand what they’re doing.

So I don’t quite agree with your analysis. My suggestion is that we define Pure ODD,
with <textNode> and all, forget the @allowText idea, and stop trying to second
guess people’s intent by trying to make plausible DTD for them. If they want to
constrain their usage to what they know will make decent DTD, that’s their
business.

so the same old principle - remove any magic or guess work. Translate the
Pure ODD markup in a simple transparent way. Caveat codor.
