Lets start now with a version 0.0.1 of the TEI process. Of course at some later time we'll have to do all the posted files over again.
Now, please don't take this as a policy statement or anything, but I really, really HATE doing anything KNOWING that it's wrong and will have to be done again. I mean, bone-deep HATE it.
*Why* is it wrong? If, having to redo something is an indication of premature start, we shouldn't have posted the first 10.000 books, because we have to repost them all. I have been architecturing and programming for 20 years now and I cannot remember one single instance I got it 100% right the first time. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
