Re: [Indic-texts] Sanskrit names for division types

Agreed, Peter. To rephrase: I would be happy with whatever makes it possible for various mid-level users (whether of XML/XSLT or of the particular work or literary genre) to understand and manipulate the material within a few minutes. The @n and @subtype attributes seem to be doing the majority of that user-friendliness work here; perhaps the @type attribute goes too far, as you say. But whether a few more or a few less, I think the basic feedback to Patrick's question remains the same: Such attributes need not be required by the guidelines, but they can still serve to conveniently store annotations concerning traditional structural information.

It is not really necessary to include level1, level2 in every div. One could describe this structure, namely, that level1 is volume, level 2 is Ahnika, etc., in the header in machine readable form. Yours, Peter

I agree with Tyler's view that this is clear and conveys all the information one wants without having to extend TEI in local ways.
