    I don't know if it is out-of-date, but at the recent workshop on
    learner corpora at CL2003 (Lancaster), I was on quite late in the
    programme, and was the first speaker to mention TEI, a fact
    remarked upon positively ("at last", she said) by one member of the
    audience. Actually, what I said was that the TEI didn't offer much
    help for the task I was describing, so my paper was (partly) about
    what should be said within a TEI-like framework.
