Hi James,
A very good proposal indeed. I am making a try at implementing this this afternoon with the students.

The <teiHeader> allows multiple <sourceDesc> elements and can you provide each of these an @xml:id and on any <p>, <div>, or other element claiming membership of att.declaring you use the @decls attribute to point to which <sourceDesc> is being invoked. At a phrase level, when inside the version from one edition, and supplying (say missing text) from another version you can use <supplied> and the @source attribute to do the same thing.
