The change instantiated as a result of TEI issue 561 means (if you summarily ignore all the other things in model.resourceLike) that TEI = ( teiHeader, \text+ ) That strikes me as a bad idea. I'll bet there is lots of code in the world that presumes that a <TEI> has at most one child <text>. (I know I have some programs that assume that.) Furthermore, the prose of DS still says A full TEI document combines metadata ... with the document itself, represented by either a text element or one or more other elements taken from the mode.resourceLike class, or the two in combination. ^ | + [sic] which implies a single <text> element, until you realize that <text> is now a member of model.resourceLike, and then you are a bit confused. And the description of <TEI> says contains ... a single TEI header, a single text, one or more members of the model.resourceLike class, or a combination of these. which explicitly states one and only one <text>, but then allows one or more member of model.resourceLike. I do not think we intended to permit <TEI> <teiHeader><!-- ... --></teiHeader> <text><!-- ... --></text> <text><!-- ... --></text> <text><!-- ... --></text> </TEI> when we did this, let alone <TEI> <teiHeader><!-- ... --></teiHeader> <facsimile><!-- ... --></facsimile> <text><!-- ... --></text> <facsimile><!-- ... --></facsimile> <text><!-- ... --></text> <facsimile><!-- ... --></facsimile> <text><!-- ... --></text> </TEI>
