charters numbers only as attributes ?

[Georg Vogeler]

Hi everybody,

Gautier's and Patrick's contributions bring me back to the suggestion 
of a dedicated element <num> in the CEI proposal for the TEI. It 
might be good for the TEI to have that element for other projects to 
as digitising existing prints seems to me a common enterprise.

And, Gautier, your project looks again very interesting!

Best wishes

Georg
