I think that <surfaceGrp> goes beyond a Simple document, therefore I would remove it. Concerning the <line>: If I understand it correctly, <sourceDoc> is not provided within a Simple document? Is it meant to have a transcription within <facsimile> instead? I don't think that <facsimile> should contain a transcription (see also line 790-793 in tei_simple.odd: "A more powerful approach, discussed in section <ptr target="#simple-facs"/> below, is to use the <gi>facsimile</gi> element to define the organization of the set of images representing the text, and then use the <att>facs</att> attribute to point to individual components of that representation.") Therefore I wouldn't restore <line>. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: tei-council-bounces@lists.tei-c.org [mailto:tei-council-bounces@lists.tei-c.org] Im Auftrag von Lou Burnard Gesendet: Donnerstag, 21.

Is that balance about right? Should I restore <line> (which is sugar for <zone type="line">) ? Should I remove <surfaceGrp>? The purpose is to support a Simple document which contains just images and the lightest of transcriptions, such as you might get from a crowd sourcing transcription experiment for example, not to do full blown genetic transcriptions, obvs. -- tei-council mailing list tei-council@lists.tei-c.org http://lists.lists.tei-c.org/mailman/listinfo/tei-council PLEASE NOTE: postings to this list are publicly archived
