I am at one with David on this rant. It would be so cool to have type as a universal attribute, along with n/rend/xml:id and a few others. It does rather surprise me to see how many universal attributes there are (see http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-att.global.html) — and yet, @type is not one of them. Yes, I do recall the legions of discussion on this point oh so many years ago. I was frustrated then, I am frustrated now.

Just venting a bit at the end of a longish week... For the X'th time in a decade or so, where X is a moderately large number, I find myself thinking "I do wish that TEI allowed @type on paragraphs, it would make my life so much easier!"

Yes, I realize it's not going to happen, yes I'm going to use <ab type="whatever"> instead. It's a context where semantically the things really *are* typed paragraphs, not logical divs, not anonymous blocks.
