Concluding I would following the line of Michael, marking the diplomatic structure of the text with <div type="">, any individual clause with the <cl type="">-Element, but leaving the the <document> and a metadata hierarchy in the <regestum>. What do you think, Gautier :-)?
So, if i understand good, you accept to use <div> element with "type" attribute for the internal structure of a charter, i think it's effectively a good thing for the interoperability with the other types of sources. For the <document> element, i thought about this problem with your answer. You are right, when you say that the <div type="document"> is a solution to edit a chartulary, but not for a single document. In fact, for the Cartulaire blanc, I use the <group> element instead of the <body> element which allows to repeat the <text> element for each charter. So i think the <document> element you propose to add correspond the <text> element : "contains a single text of any kind, whether unitary or composite, for example a poem or drama, a collection of essays, a novel, a dictionary, or a corpus sample." (TEI guidelines) For the specific metadata for the diplomatic, i don't know if we can create a <regestum> and <diplomaticanalysis> element. Why not ? the <msDescription> exists. My mind isn't set. I will answer tonight for the other problems. Gautier
