the Oxford Text Archive (ota.ahds.ac.uk) just gave me Mansfield Park,
in TEI. It asked me to agree to respect copyright etc, which I didnt
find unreasonable. I can obviously print or display that file
with a trivial stylesheet (I believe the OTA will be offering
auto-HTML soon). I dont think it gave me special treatment.

just an example.

oh yes? they don't have to learn English to read Shakespeare then? one
does not need any educational background at all to understand Cavafy?

are we escaping from the remit of XML-DEV by any chance?
