                               OBJECTIVES
 
 
1.    Reformulate this list of objectives.
2.    Summarize and report on the structural and formal  features most
      essential to the encoding of performance texts of all kinds. Fea-
      tures discussed should include but need not be limited to formal
      aspects such as speech, song and stage directions and the relation
      between the written transcript and stage performance.
3.    Consider and report on a representative range of purely interpre-
      tive characteristics such as metaphor, rhetorical tropes etc.
      which have been found of general usefulness in the literature.
4.    Consider and report on ways of representing narrative structures
      within performed texts
5.    Draft modifications to the current draft Guidelines showing how
      existing tags may be appropriately used to encode such features
      (or a representative subset of them).
6.    Draft additional sections for the Guidelines defining whatever
      additional tags and attributes are necessary for the encoding of
      such features, wherever tags defined in the current draft do not
      suffice.
7.    Liaise closely with other workgroups working in related areas,
      notably TR10 (verse), TR12 (prose) and AI2 (spoken texts).
