charters numbers only as attributes ?

[Christian-Emil Ore]

Hi
num is an element for marking a number (cardinal). The text streng inside a 
num need not to be a string of digits, could be i (square root of -1) or a 
roman number. In the printed series of regests (Regesta Norvegica) or the 
printed edition of Diplomatarium Norvegicum) some times a letter is added 
to the running number because a diploma may consist of two charters 
connected with a seal band or because there are two or more later vidisses 
(copies). Thus at least for our purpose it will not be right to use num. I 
don't have any good alternatives at the moment. In Norway we are using the 
number (with possible letters) from the printed editions as a kind of 
global identifiers when one refers to a given charter in a scolarly paper 
or book.

Best,
Christian-Emil
