    Yes -- when I suggested that it would make more sense to TEI-encode the
    data if there were more TEI-sensitive tools available, I was thinking
    of programs/APIs/libraries/modules that understand and process TEI-encoded
    data, independently of how they represent the data internally. Kind of
    like when you process XML using SAX or DOM functions you do not really
    care about how they handle the data internally, as long as the end result
    is what you expected...
