Div encoding or div processing :: div marking or div reading


Wendell's remarks and reminder about the placement of the <text> element

elaborately structured element types. So we have <text> appearing  inside
<quote>, <letter> (which has its own peculiar "top" and "bottom"), the
things described in "Varieties of Composite Text", etc.


remind me of a discussion from the early fall of 05 regarding XSLT and the
<text> element. In an off list exchange, the interesting question of
oddness arouse:

you have to check each time you meet a <text> whether it is child of
<TEI>; the behaviour is almost completely unrelated.

I suppose its not a  big deal really, but it seemed odd to me when I coded
it.

Hypthetical: if the <text> element were not called "text" would it be used
more often to address the question of tesselating vs floating div?
