Minutes
GB and DP present visualisations of collation as they are currently developed in their projects. Both are based on SVG. In the Faustedition (GB) however, specifically designed custom elements are used to represent the sheets and leaves, whereas DP uses <formula>.
MD complains about the impossibility to record the absence of a feature (e.g., a watermark) in an explicit and machine-readable way. The participants agree that a way should be found to encode the absence of features in the <msDesc>.
