Arianna,
We (Research in Computing for Humanities at the University of Kentucky) are working on DTD and tool (called "DucType") for paleographical description. Briefly, it will enable to editor to view a manuscript image alongside a transcript, and encode paleographical descriptions using a simple template interface. It's still under development, although Kevin Kiernan, PI on the projects, has shown several demonstrations, including one at Kzoo in May.
Look for our forthcoming article in Literary and Linguistic Computing (the proceedings from last year's ACH/ALLC meeting - July or August 2004). We also have a short article coming out in the July DigiCULT Newsletter [http://www.digicult.info/pages/index.php] that gives a bit of history and briefly describes DucType and our other editing tools.
You can find out more on our project websites:

Hope this helps,
Dot

Hi Dorothy,
thank-you for all the information. I was at the ALLC/ACh conference in Sweden and I had ettended your talk of course, which I enjoied a lot.
By the way, what I'm curious about it's exactly what you call "encoding paleographical descriptions using a simple template interface".
Looking forward your publications, Best wishes,
