Cocoa texts and conversions?

Hi all, The TEI Stylesheets system includes code for converting the old COCOA text encoding system: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COCOA_(digital_humanities)> into TEI. That code is not actually working; it produces invalid TEI, as you can see if you run "make test" and then validate cocoatest.xml or cocoatest2.xml. Obviously that should be fixed, but it occurs to me to wonder whether there's actually any utility at this point in maintaining a Cocoa-to-TEI converter at all. The only archive I'm aware of with texts in Cocoa is the Oxford Text Archive, and as far as I can see from a quick investigation, all of those files have been converted to TEI already. Does anyone know of any significant texts encoded in Cocoa which have not yet been converted to TEI? If there are none left in the wild, we could quietly retire this particular conversion format and reduce our maintenance and testing burden. Cheers, Martin
