Some comments for TEI Header Guidelines

  • You probably want to change the @id in a few places to @xml:id. And the examples have TEI.2 as the root. Piotr 22:48, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

Yes, at some point soon we will need to change

  • id= to xml:id=
  • <TEI.2> to <TEI xmlns=...>
  • target="blah" to target="#blah"

passim. Will also need to ditch the bit on entities. Maybe I can get to these later today. — done.

We also need to figure out what to do about the recommendation for lang=. That's a tougher issue, because it's not just a syntax change. Our guildelines for best practice are at odds with the TEI Guidelines and the IETF best current practices. Syd 2008-10-21T19:09Z.

Referencing the P5 Guidelines

I think when ever possible, we should link to the P5 guidelines to further illustrate examples or even as additional reference to prose. These guidelines mention "text hierarchy" which is akin to structure of a text so we should link to Chapter 4, Default Text Structure for illustrations of the various forms, etc. Not only do we leverage existing, robust documentation, but we help all TEI users, novice or expert, "penetrate" the monolithic guidelines when relevant.
