Re: place attribute for stage

Sorry, I didn’t look closely enough at the general TEI spec. The answer is ‘yes’ . One of the major constraints of this project was that whatever else it did it should accommodate projects like EEBO TCP.

The recent correspondence about the <space> element and in particular Michael Sperberg McQueen’s observations suggest that <space> should also be In teiSimplePrint.

The stage element as defined in tei already has this attribute. Are you are asking why it was removed from teiSimplePrint ?

Is there a case to be made for giving <stage> a @place attribute? Marginal stage directions are very common in the Jonson folio of 1616, and I’ve run across them in quite a few other plays. One could use @rendition in such place, but it looks a little forced. And stage directions in the margins remind you that a stage direction is a very close relative of <note> and may be the thing itself.
