TEI issue 1515 (see https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1515) is labeled green and assigned to me. The comment back in Prague was "Should use zone, but outside of figure, sibling (within surface for ex.)", which suggestion was posted on the ticket 02-06. OP came back less than 22 hours later pointing out that the semantics of @facs does not really permit this encoding. What, if anything, should I be doing with this? Possibilities: 1) Change description of @facs to something like "provides an attribute used to express correspondence between an element and all or part of a facsimile of that which is encoded by the element". 1a) Same, but also add the example in the ticket to the GLs. 1b) Same, but also add <remarks> to the effect of "The typical use of @facs is to associate an element containing transcribed text with all or part of an image representing that text. However, it may also be used to establish the same sort of correspondence between the encoding of an object and a facsimile thereof (e.g., between a transcription of speech and an audio recording of said speech; between the encoding of a printed figure in a textbook and a scanned image thereof; between the <damage> element representing a crack in a headstone and a 3-D model of the headstone". 1c) Same as (1b), but also note in the <remarks> that the <timeline> element may be used to create a transcription of speech with a temporal alignment thereof. 1d) (1a) & (1b) 1e) (1a) & (1c) 2) Tell the OP he can't do that, he has to use <media> or <graphic> (which are allowed inside <zone>) and close the ticket. 3) Per OP request, revert our decision in Prague and change the content model of <zone> to allow <figure>. Personally, I am leaning strongly towards (1d) or (1e), but am open to hearing arguments against.
