[tei-council] constraints on <publicationStmt>

[Fabio Ciotti]

I don't see any reason for enforcing the sequence agency - detail
(leaving aside the fact that I would take away  <availability> from
here...).
It sounds like a sort of "presentational" way of modelling descriptive
metadata elements. For instance, in MODS <originInfo> children are a
repeatable choice.
And it's odd the the fact that agency is mandatory, since we can have
a lot of bibliographic item for which there is no publisher (or it's
unkonwn). Probably <date> should be seen as a more fundamental
element.
