I'm posting my reply to Roberto's email to the list, because others here might be interested in this work. I'll be presenting a paper on this at Kalamazoo (session 330), so if you take issue with our decisions you can write me on- or off-list, or wait until after my talk :)

Hi Roberto,
I'm interested in seeing if the TEI extensions we developed for the Electronic Boethius project would suit the needs you have for the Digital Vercelli Book. The documentation is available at
http://rch01.rch.uky.edu/~ept/TEI-cotlib/
This site documents how I went about mapping to old (non-TEI) cotlib DTD into a "master" TEI DTD, and then modified this single DTD into several smaller "working" DTDs (for the EPT's overlapping markup support).
"DTD View" refers to the organization of the working DTDs themselves; "Editor's View" refers to the organization of the elements within the context of the EPT.
I'm giving a paper on these extensions at Kzoo, in fact, and it would be nice to know ahead of time how acceptable these extensions might be to other projects (since they will be released as part of the EPT).
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks, Dot

Hi all, after much dealying I finally accepted the idea that I will need to use a customized version of the TEI DTD for my project(s): I read the guidelines, but would surely appreciate any further help, can anybody point me to tutorials, examples etc. on the web? Has anybody had any luck in using Roma? I couldn't save my modifications as a DTD, is it going to remain a schema-only tool?
Thanks in advance.
Ciao
