It wasn't hard to guess what I would see.
In chrome on my machine, it looks mostly like minimally formatted plain text, except at the top.
In Firefox I see a document formatted exactly the way God intended. The title page is unimportant, but when we get to the actual text, it is rendered in a moderately sized, sans-serif font; there are no right margins (if I want margins I can resize my browser); paragraphs are indented, but there are no blank lines between them; emphasized text is italicized; footnotes appear at chapter end, and is in a reduced siae test. Apparently you are not happy with this obviously perfect presentation. So, you should tell me how /you/ would have preferred to see this presented and I will accomodate your request. Be warned, however, that if you do I will be required to report you to the inquisition.
We know browsers suppress displaying tags they don't recognize, so it's what I would expect, I guess.
No, none of the tags are ignored. They are displaying exactly as I (and God) intended. Try changing the default presentation on your browser and see how it affects your view (it shouldn't change it at all).
I would say it wouldn't be a display format we'd want to distribute, or a markup effort worth the result shown this way.
I would say that it's exactly the display format you would want to distribute. How would you change it? (not a rhetorical question; I really need answers).
But you know that. What should we learn? That TEI produces recognizable text in a brower?
Yes, sort of. But more importantly, that TEI can mark up practically everything that is needed for an e-text, and that conversion from TEI to HTML is simple and straight-forward.
