I have put multiple days of debugging work into Stylesheets 454, the release-blocking error that means a <classRef>, or at least a <classRef> with an @except, is ignored when processing an ODD. While I have made serious progress (some of which is in the sydb-454 branch), it is looking like I will not have a viable solution by the end of the day. Thus I think we need an alternate solution, which would be to back out [1] and either leave title page stuff out of <lem> and <rdg> for this release, or use some other ODD mechanism to put them in there. Possibilities (listed in my order of preference) include: 1. Use a bunch of <elementRef>s 2. Use <classRef> w/o @except, and add a <constraint> to flag <binaryObject>, <graphic>, and <castList> as invalid 3. Make a new class "model.frontPart.apparatusable" and put the needed elements in it. 4. Use <classRef> w/ @include (but I am highly suspicious that this will fail in exactly the same way). We can change any of the above back to <classRef> w/ @except after 454 is fixed. The other possibility, of course, is that someone else will take a look at this and fix the bug in the next few hours. If anyone wants to join my for a screen-sharing debugging session, speak up. That said, I really have other things I need to do today, too. :-| Notes ----- [1] TEI repo commit 193e6283321aeeb68b9a93b0d95b10a82148ef74
