LCC has now got quite a way into the markup of the Varin, so I've pushed it into the db to see what it looks like. It's pretty good all round, but there are some issues that need attention:

• The layout of the recto and verso pages is very different (margins are tiny on the binding side, and huge on the other). The current simple system for specifying the original page layout can't easily do this, so it needs to be elaborated. We can distinguish between recto and verso based on page number and/or page number position, and perhaps specify two different page layouts.
• There is a lot of quotation without quote marks in the original text, and LCC has made a nice, useful distinction between two different types, marked up with <quote> and <said>. Right now, <said> is not handled at all, and <quote> always results in the insertion of quote marks. What we really need is a way to mark <quote> tags which do not have quote marks in the original (perhaps @rend, or @type). Once we have this, we'll be able to do something quite neat: render the "original view" without quotes, and supply quotes in the "version continue".
