Yes. If you INCLUDE an element whose content model has a required
element which has been IGNOREd you create a zombie. In this case,
your DTD contains the element <interpretation>, the content model of
which is defined as (p+), but you have not included the <p> element.

As currently implemented, the pizzachef won't let you remove the TEI
Header, and therefore you cannot remove any of the elements which elements
in the TEI header *require*. These include <p> and <list> and a few less
obvious ones like <date>. This may or may not be a design flaw.

These on the other hand are bugs. I had noticed the duplication of <note>
-- which is caused by the fact that the element is defined twice, once
as part of the WSD as well as in the core -- but not of <name>. Nor had
I noticed the omission of <l> which is definitely wrong. Thanks for
reporting the problem!
