[tei-council] <content> vs <mixedContent>

[Sebastian Rahtz]

No, really, folks this is mad.

Having two elements <content> and <mixedContent> which have more or less
identical semantics, and identical content models, is against natural law. This is what
attributes are for, to make that slight distinction, i.e. <content mixed=“true”> 
and <content mixed=“false”>

yes, of course I can change code like

<xsl:apply-templates mode="odd2odd-copy" select="tei:content”/>

to 

<xsl:apply-templates mode="odd2odd-copy" select=“tei:content|tei:mixContent”/>

passim, but its hideous to look at and confusing to maintain.
