Hiya,

One of the reason the TEI has, with P5, moved some values to data.enumerated (= 
data.word = xsd:Name) is the war against text-bearing attributes.  If you want 
to say that an instance of <editor> one place in the document relates to 
multiple <editor>s or <respStmt>s elsewhere, why not use @corresp to point their 
  @xml:id attributes?
