[Standards] [Dev] proposal: using a common mime type for TEI files

[Bart Jongejan]

Dear all,

I am listening on the side line, and find this a very interesting and relevant question. 

I cannot think of many useful operations that one could perform on TEI files of all flavours. 
* Count the numbers of different element types
* Checking well-formedness
* Extract text
* Checking whether the file has the flavour that tool T  likes.

What else?

I think it is inevitable to scan TEI-input before deciding to hand it over to a tool that might choke on "wrong" input.

Best
Bart

Yes it was in this context where I heard this discussion. The TEI
importer, as far as I can tell, does not import generic TEI but only
specific flavors. If we send a TEI file to weblicht, the TEI tool will
assume it is according to this specific flavor, I did not test what
happens if it is not. I am afraid it is getting messy.... WebLicht looks
at the type of file to suggest matching webservices.  Maybe somebody
else can provide more details, for example the Berlin team... or Hamburg
if they read along...

Cheers
Thorsten
