Reading the TEI materials, these seem to be the kinds of purposes for which TEI was invented. Who has found it so useful that they have adopted it as their standard medium of storage?
TEI is pretty widely used in corpora, and dictionaries: anywhere where the semantic content is valued.
Textbooks seem to be squarely in the target market. What textbooks are distributed and used in TEI format?
I expect that PG texts in TEI format would be useful to roughly the same audiences.
If the texts were being semantically annotated, they would be useful for corpus-type uses. As is, most of them retain the page numbers, so they're at least a better starting point than plain text. (The HTML editions are _worse_ than plain text for those uses). -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you
