Some years ago we (or rather Roma) made a schema based on a modified
version of the then not-final P5. I am now looking to see how much work
it would be to update this schema (used for an archive of about 60,000
printed pages) either to pure P5 (the best solution) or a slightly
modified P5 (acceptable solution). We have found it useful to have a
type-attribute in the <p>-element (and some other elements). I now see
that this is not part of the P5, and wonder whether it should be. For me
it seems useful to be able to have a type-attribute on almost
everything, that is, it should be in the general attribute class. Any
thoughts?
