1. The main point of incompatibility with my proposal is the lack of support for plain <div>. I support both, <div> and <divN>. I think you should also.
It means some extra programming from my side. I would like to see the various people working on this issue converge to a single standard.
2. The rend attributes are ill-chosen and need reworking.
rend is a global attribute and can be used on all TEI elements. It is counter-intuitive to make the effect dependent on the element.
<figure rend="left"> floats the picture to the left <p rend="left"> makes a ragged-right paragraph
better use
<figure rend="float(left)"> <p rend="text-align(left)">
I agree the rendition ladder approach is much better. The "simple" rend attributes are actually quick hacks. I've looked in your code, and the generic code for rend attributes you use is a much better way to deal with it. Quite some work needs to be done though before rendition ladders are fully supported.
3. The urls have to be changed.
www.gutenberg.org/css/ is already taken for the site css and I don't want to mix those with the book css.
www.gutenberg.org/xslt/ and www.gutenberg.org/dtd/ are off the main directory. I try to keep the number of subdirectories in the main directory to a minimum.
Proposal: one directory off the main with a hierarchy to accomodate all xslt stuff by different people.
www.gutenberg.org/tei/ www.gutenberg.org/tei/jeroen/ www.gutenberg.org/tei/jeroen/css/ www.gutenberg.org/tei/jeroen/dtd/ www.gutenberg.org/tei/jeroen/xslt/ www.gutenberg.org/tei/marcello/ www.gutenberg.org/tei/marcello/css www.gutenberg.org/tei/marcello/dtd www.gutenberg.org/tei/marcello/xslt etc.
The prefix www.gutenberg.org/tei/jeroen/ should also be used for all your namespaces.
That sounds like a good proposal, how do others think about it, especially if books in the books hierarchy start referencing to these things? Currently, they are rather self-contained things, with all required stuff in one place. Doing this will basically require us to keep things in the generic directories downwards compatible with texts posted before. Jeroen
