It is interesting to note that TEI's 1980s origins go back to the dark ages
*before* SGML (XML's predecessor, for the really young) had taken hold as a
standard. So the original conception of TEI was to address issues that are
now non-issues because XML handles them. TEI's role, in a world with XML in
it, is much harder to delineate than would have been the case had SGML and XML
not taken hold.
