The XML Version of the TEI Guidelines

This is not an item for a leisurely afternoon read. Peter Suber summarizes it nicely, "The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) has approved and released version 4 of its Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange Version 3 has been in use since 1994. The new version is a very extensive document providing XML tags to mark nearly every conceivable aspect of a text that might have to be identified or processed by software." I had a look through it and Suber's description is, if anything, an understatement. Now I don't think that the purpose of this document is that it be used, but rather, that it serve as a model for your own XML schemas insofar as they deal with text: if your XML file is consistent with TEI then it will be translatable to other schemas consistent with TEI.
