1 errata on English files discovered during translation

I have incorporate all but the errata file into the copy of the site on my Dev machine - all validated (or failed for known reasons, such as embedded code on the map pages). I have not yet tried to rebuild the site.

Leaving early for appointment.

One way of easing the integration and testing the adequacy of TEI representations of texts is to develop an output rendering system that generates ISGML from TEI. I've made substantial progress with that today; I'd say I'm about a third of the way through. Consulting with MJ as I go.

One typo fixed, and some new bits and pieces added; other things discussed, explained and debated. By-property is confusing for multiple-property titles; by-title is unworkable because propsets on title chains change. What to do?
