 * Another essential feature for me would be the ability to script a sequence of transformations etc. in the way that oXygen currently does when generating RNG and XHTML from an ODD file. It's currently done with an Ant script, but any scripting language will do. I routinely do an exercise which involves editing an ODD, generating a schema, using it to create a new file, et da capo. This is easy and seamless in oXyGen: doing it  via the oXGarage web interface would be cumbersome and confusing.   (Lou)

 ** very true Piotr! Whatever the interface, I agree with Lou that it's an important feature.
 * 2.5: "From a sustainability perspective, I would add "open-source" to the feature set, maybe in the "2. Ideally..." section. This may not be much pertinent from the short term opportunistic point of view of a student (or a teacher), but may help consolidate tools appropriateness to TEI for the long term, which is what TEI is all about."
