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.
