[tei-council] constraints on <publicationStmt>

[Sebastian Rahtz]

We relatively recently insisted that a <publicationStmt> must have some sort
of authority, if the contents are structured at all.

I just met this in EEBO TCP:

               <publicationStmt>
                  <pubPlace>Printed at London by R.I. for L. Chapman, and are to be sold at the sign of the Crown in Popes-head Alley,</pubPlace>
                  <date>1654.</date>
               </publicationStmt>

Do I correctly conclude the markup is just lazy/wrong, and needs to either extract the details, or
wrap these elements in a <p>?
