I know the TEI guidelines and the efforts of some specific projects such as Digital Scriptorium, but none of them seems to me to go into the image with the granularity needed for a palaeographical analysis.

I would suggest posting specific examples of where you think TEI doesn't go far enough to the TEI-L list. They are always happy to see where they can improve. Digital Scriptorium's extensions are quite good. There is a good discussion of some of these issues at: http://www.hum.ku.dk/ami/handbook/

For those who haven't seen the manuscript description taskforce of TEI its activities are listed at: http://www.tei-c.org.uk/Activities/MS/ but I realise that concentrates on description rather that palaeographical analysis. These are all draft documents, however, and still have many errors that they will be correcting.
