Thanks. The Guidelines actually have an example of a minimum
TEI document:
<TEI.2>
<teiHeader>
<fileDesc>
<titleStmt>
<title>The shortest TEI Document Imaginable</title>
</titleStmt>
<publicationStmt>
<p>First published as part of TEI P2.</p>
</publicationStmt>
<sourceDesc>
<p>No source: this is an original work.</p>
</sourceDesc>
</fileDesc>
</teiHeader>
<text>
<body>
<p>This is about the shortest TEI document imaginable.</p>
</body>
</text>
</TEI.2>
I can now see that I misunderstood Lou. It is not that <list> or
<date> are required by the teiHeader - but by any of the (required or
optional) elements within the teiHeader because none of them can
be IGNOREd by the Pizza Chef. So IGNOREing a <date> would produce
a Zombie because it is required by one of the teiHeader elements
(which may itself not be required but will be in the Pizza.DTD
anyway). Am I right?
