Hi Lou, Only that it is a change that has been approved for quite awhile and been waiting to be implemented. Since source was an existing attribute there isn't much prose to add and I can do so today.

We have been getting along quite well without a global @source for ages. Seems to me that if the prose isn't written and the testing hasn't been done then this isn't going to be ready for the next release. No big deal imho. Sent from my Honor Mobile -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tei-council] att.global.source branch for issue #536 From: James Cummings To: TEI Council CC: Hiya, I believe I've done the schema-related changes for release-blocking issue #536 (there are still bits of prose to change). Since this was adding a @source attribute in a new global class I did the various changes in a branch. I've not done anything about the testing which I'm sure the changes to classes (att.source and att.readFrom) will break. (But then again, I've never understood the testing and expected results as well as I should.) I'd appreciate someone looking at the changes and seeing if you see anything I've forgotten to do (other than prose updates in the chapters), and also to give me some advice on merging the branch in (or go ahead and do it if it looks good) and/or fixing the needed tests.
