Greetings!

No replies on this one. :-(

Interesting thing is that TEI has <hi> and <ref> that have almost the 
same content models (varies under <ref> with some specialized term 
containers).

Since we put <hi> in for convenience of encoders and I can easily 
imagine a <reference> that has a <title> child, suggest we simply make 
the two content models the same but leave them as separate elements.

I know, I know, Todd, that is not elegant, etc., but to some degree we 
are bound to produce a spec our users will understand without blood 
transfusions from one of the core team.

If there are any NO votes, let's hear them by late tomorrow shall we?

Thanks!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
