Talk:TEI-Council-FAQ

Elections

Shouldn't "This should be a private election with no one able to determine who has voted for who" end with "whom"?

While "whom" is basically unused in casual conversation in American English, some people like to use it in writing. I understand that it's more archaic in British English though still encountered. Anyway, for the pedants, I've updated it. (Kshawkin 19:29, 2 November 2013 (EDT))

Durand Conundrum

I'm told there's something called the "Durand Conundrum". Though it hasn't yet come up in Council discussions, it would be good to add a note on the TEI-Council-FAQ because I don't think there's any more appropriate place to put this. (kshawkin 15 April 2010)

Thanks, James, for adding. I think I understand the Conundrum now, but still this sentence doesn't quite parse: "The 'Durand Conundrum' was suggested by David G. Durand concerning the TEI's decision to use the TEI ODD meta-schema language rather than just one of the existing schema languages, or if you are going to use your own language, why use RelaxNG as part of that language for describing content models." I propose revising as:

The "Durand Conundrum" was formulated by David G. Durand and actually contains two conundrums:

• Why does the TEI use the TEI ODD meta-schema language rather than simply using one of the existing schema languages?
• Why does our meta-schema language use RelaxNG as part of that language for describing content models?
