Hi Gerrit,

for me, corr always goes with sic. Typically there is a misspelling which is "corrected" by the editor.
supplied in contrast "corrects" an omission, typically some lacking parts of speech (eg. article or verb).
So, maybe supplied can be seen as a shorthand for <choice><sic/><corr>some editorial addition</corr></choice>?!

All the best
Peter
