OK, I tried to do what I could, but I was not able to go all the 
way to the validating document, and some things look awkward to 
me.

I have created this TEI customization 
http://www.ceplovi.cz/matej/tmp/tei_drama.xml which generated 
this RNC schema http://www.ceplovi.cz/matej/tmp/TEI.rnc I begun 
to work on my document 
http://www.ceplovi.cz/matej/tmp/PCF_haggadah.xml and it is almost 
good, but I cannot validate it:

[matej@hubmaier haggadah]$ xmllint --relaxng TEI.rng --noout 
PCF_haggadah.xml PCF_haggadah.xml:147: element sp: Relax-NG 
validity error : Did not expect element speaker there
PCF_haggadah.xml:147: element sp: Relax-NG validity error 
: Expecting element l, got speaker
PCF_haggadah.xml:149: element p: Relax-NG validity error 
: Element p has extra content: text
PCF_haggadah.xml:149: element p: Relax-NG validity error : Did 
not expect element p there
PCF_haggadah.xml:147: element sp: Relax-NG validity error 
: Element sp failed to validate content
PCF_haggadah.xml:164: element speaker: Relax-NG validity error 
: Did not expect element speaker there
PCF_haggadah.xml:164: element speaker: Relax-NG validity error 
: Expecting element l, got speaker
PCF_haggadah.xml:164: element sp: Relax-NG validity error 
: Expecting an element got text
PCF_haggadah.xml:164: element sp: Relax-NG validity error : Did 
not expect element text there
PCF_haggadah.xml:164: element sp: Relax-NG validity error 
: Element sp failed to validate content
PCF_haggadah.xml fails to validate
[matej@hubmaier haggadah]$

What's wrong with <speaker> element in <sp>? And why I cannot 
have <p> in <sp>? Both of these constructs seem to be shown in 
http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/html/DR.html

The second problem are biblical quotations. There are plenty of 
them so I would prefer some decent way how to work with them. In 
my Docbook customization I use copycat of the ThML from 
http://www.ccel.org/ThML/scripref.htm namely elements <scripture> 
(which is Docbook's <quote> with quote attribute for the 
reference -- see examples on the ThML page) and <scripRef> which 
covers just biblical quotation (e.g., <scripRef passage="Jo 
3:16">John 3:16</scripRef>).

I guess I could do the latter with <ref> like in

    <p>As it is written in <ref cref="Ex 12:14-20">Exodus 
    12:14-20</ref>, in preparation for the Passover, God 
       commanded the people of Israel to remove all leaven 

but I don't know how to do the first efficiently. I tried

    <p>It is from this concept of the cleansing of leaven that 
    Paul wrote in First Corinthians 5:6 <cit><quote>Don’t you
    know that a little yeast works through the whole bunch of
    dough?  Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch
    without yeast.</quote> <ref>1Co 5:6</ref></cit></p>

But that seems kind of awkward (three elements for one 
quotation). Is there a better way?

Thanks a lot for the reply,

Matěj Cepl
