That said, if we can have more than one of them and envision that users might reasonably categorise them, then that would meet the test for membership of att.typed.
Yes, I was actually arguing for membership of att.typed, on the basis that it's up to the user to decide what sort of metadata goes in these things. The distinction between metadata about the source document and metadata about the electronic document is very fuzzy a lot of the time. One of the things I'm likely to store in <xenoData> is a block of OAI:PMH metadata which includes the date and title of the original document (source) as well as a list of individuals and places referred to in it (source? electronic?) along with information on the date the file was last changed its canonical URL (electronic). It's really closer to <teiHeader> than to e.g. <sourceDesc>. Cheers, Martin

I'd be interested in Syd explaining why he doesn't think 4a is a good idea? Generally I'm of the opinion that anything inside <xenoData> and its relationship to the electronic text is totally in the hands of the encoder. I think it will definitely be used for non-bibliographic metadata.
That's the key point. People will put all sorts of peripheral stuff in there (RDF ontologies, for instance) which are neither "about" the primary source document nor the electronic edition. I think if we're providing a place for people to put whatever they like, it doesn't really make sense to start constraining it.
I agree. Plus there is no guarantee that a particular tranche of xenodata is consistently "about" any one thing anyway
