[osis-core] 18. Alphabetical List of Elements

[Patrick Durusau]

Guys,

As a help to encoders we have an alphabetical list of elements in 
Section 18. Proofing it against the schema I noticed that milestoneable 
is not listed.

Since that is really schema machinery and hopefully not something 
introductory users will need to understand, that should not appear in 
the list, correct?

They will need to know how to use the milestoneable elements but they 
should not have a reason to need to understand the mechanism that makes 
it possible.

On that list I am thinking about putting a 3-4 word definition for each 
one. Maybe say milestoneable? Might be more useful to point at the 
section of the manual that covers that element. Don't remember if 
Sebastian's TEI stylesheets do the index element in TEI very well or 
not. May be my chance to find out. ;-)

Suggestions on the short def versus reference to the appropriate section 
of the manual? (Actually I would like to have two lists, one with the 
short def and a second with the pointer into the manual. Often I only 
need a couple of words to remind me what the element is for and that 
could be useful. Problem is my experience is not that of beginning 
encoders so the latter might be more appropriate.)

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
