                               OBJECTIVES
 
1.    Reformulate this list of objectives.
2.    Evaluate the existing recommendations of TEI P1 by encoding sever-
      al small sample texts. The texts should demonstrate the use of
      selective apparatus and at least one exhaustive collation of a
      non-trivial (more than 10) number of variant states.  Report on
      the relative efficacy of the four methods proposed in TEI P1.
3.    Review current practice in the encoding of features commonly found
      in critical editions other than apparatus and propose recommenda-
      tions consistent with the remainder of P1.  Topics to be addressed
      should include (but not be limited to) the following:
      *   editorial interventions
 
      *   dubious readings and cruxes
 
      *   lacunae
 
      *   historical-critical commentary
 
      *   glossarial notes
 
      *   parallel versions in other languages and scripts
4.    Respond to comments on the relevant portions of TEI P1 routed to
      this work group by the editors.
