Hi Lou,
thanks for pointing this out. I believe that having @output as a closed
list is indeed wrong. Not only output could be given as any format, as yet
unforeseen even, but output is basically any view of the document one might
want to produce, thus
'print-for-ones-who-could-not-be-bothered-with-footnotes' might well
coexist with 'print-as-we-would-send-to-UOP', both targetting same format
but presenting the document in a distinct way.
Thus having answered a) I believe b) is a moot point (@output value is just
an identifier of a transformation defined by models for which this output
applies).
Asking Simpletons doesn't hurt. Much. I hope. :)

I've made a bit more progress on the "processing model" extensions to ODD proposed by the TEI Simpletons a while ago, and now have a version of P5 based on the current dev branch which includes them AND builds correctly. But I havent yet finished hacking the prose into shape, and I have some questions.
Here's the first.
The @output attribute "the intended output method" (that's clearly wrong though; surely it should be "the intended output target"?) is defined with a closed list of values "web", "print", and "plaintext".
a) why is this a closed list? I can think of lots of other possible values e.g. "mobile device", "PDF", "text-to-speech synthesizer" for starters...
b) what exactly does "plaintext" mean?
And here's the zero'th. To whom if not the Council should I be addressing this query?
