Just a quick response --<br>
<br>
Not finding multiple <p> elements in anyone's usage of <event> was one of the reasons I went ahead with the change.<br>

Sounds like we're agreed on using <desc> instead of <label>. Here's what I have in mind --<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">MerMEId has never been set up to allow more than a single <p> within <event>, so at least among MerMEId users I am pretty sure no-one has actually produced events
containing several paragraphs. From this perspective, a single element allowing mixed content would be fine. But I still think there is need for something else than <label> (or <head>). To me, both ‘label’ and ‘head’ signify something that goes before or above
the text/data, like ‘Label: Data’. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">I am not convinced that the text in my example is in fact a label. I at least don’t think of it that way. In MerMEId, the corresponding input is labeled ‘Description’,
indicating the intention we had. In the context of <provenance> we provide two input fields: one for the date of the event and one for the ‘Description’. What I had in mind was an output like:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">For the description, we give the example ‘Purchased by The Royal Library from John Doe’. That’s not really a label for the date, is it? I’d definitely prefer adding

we need to break compatibility at that point. But if you prefer renaming it to <label> then go ahead :-)</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi Axel,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In your example I think the text “Concert for the benefit of the poor. First performance.” is in fact a label for data provided in the <date>, <geogName>, and <persName> elements. Perhaps I wasn’t as thorough
as I could have been, but in my examination of the way <event> has been used (by you and others), I didn’t find any use of <p> that made it significantly different from <label>. In all cases I saw, the <p> element contained fairly short text strings without
any other internal structure common to paragraphs, such as line breaks, internal lists, etc. In addition, the name “paragraph” usually implies a certain presentation, often as a distinct block of text , that I believe doesn’t apply in this case.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In spite of my earlier statement, I now think it *is* important to draw a distinction between structured and unstructured content for <event>. Leaving the parsing/teasing apart a mixed model to a downstream processor
is not a good choice. As painful as it might be now, I’d rather have the choice made at the time of encoding rather than at the point of publishing/rendering.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I agree that using <desc> as a grouping mechanism for multiple <p> elements or adding a grouping element for multiple <desc> children isn’t necessary. I would also add that if we agree that “grouping ‘loose’ paragraphs
mixed in between the more ‘data-like’ elements” tends “to make the encoding quite messy”, then we should also agree that allowing even a single paragraph between data-like elements is just as messy.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thanks for speaking up. Believe me, I struggled with this quite a bit. I’m sorry I didn’t consult you directly. I naively thought that you were watching the GitHub repo and that your silence indicated agreement
with the proposed changes. Although I am a little wary of the pressure it might create to add <desc> in many other places, I’m not completely opposed to adding <desc> to model.eventPart, where <desc> has the same content model as <label>. This would allow
us to “have our cake and it eat it too”; that is, allow a somewhat more expansive description within an otherwise database-like model for <event> while simultaneously permitting an unstructured (or, if you will, more loosely structured) model. The most important
thing for me is to avoid the ambiguous content model that is created when <p> is part of both options. By the way, to minimize the amount of change we could even go back to using <head> instead of <label>. :-)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">There’s still time to make these changes before the official release, I think. But, I will defer to Johannes, who’s in the process of preparing the Guidelines, web site, etc.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Finally I have found some time to review the proposed changes to the header in the MEI 3.0.0 pre-release. I noticed a change in the <event> model that I'd like
to ask about. It has to do with the combination of structured and non-structured content. In our discussion in November (below) we were focusing on the grouping of events within event lists. This has been implemented in the new schema as agreed. No problem.
In your original post you also addressed the content of the <event> model (semi-structured vs. non-structured). I am sorry that I didn’t respond to that earlier.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">You and I had a private discussion about this in February/March 2013. Your conclusion then was:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">>I now think the best course of action is not to try to create two choices (semi-structured vs. free),
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">>but rather to return to intermingling the elements of both options and letting the chips fall where they may.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Then why did we end up having to choose between the two approaches now? If I have forgotten or overlooked something, please remind me.

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">It causes me problems because personally, and because of the way MerMEId works, I prefer a rather structured approach. However, I still would like to be able
to add an explanatory or descriptive text to the event also. The new <label> doesn’t seem to be the right place. Back in 2013 you suggested adding a <desc> element to the event model, and that would be just fine. A <label> is described as ‘a text that identifies
the feature to which it is attached’. That’s something quite different, isn’t it? Why not <desc>?
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Basically, I would prefer not having to choose either a structured or a non-structured model. I am quite fond of this combination of some basic, precisely defined,
‘data-like’ information and some prose added to it. We use it all the time. </span>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The suggested <event> model prevents me for from this kind of use both when listing performances within <history> and when describing source transmission in
<provenance>. In both cases I have some quite well-defined information such as the date and the persons involved, and some descriptive text.

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The <p> containing the descriptive text – which could be any length – would have to be converted to <label> in MEI 3.0.0, which doesn’t sound quite right to
me. And what if I have more than one <p>? There can be only one <label>. And above all: In what way does the existing <p> element – ruin the structuredness of the encoding more than <label> does? They both may contain mixed, that is, non-structured, content.
So even with the new model, the ‘structured’ option is likely to contain non-structured information. I don’t see that as a problem. Non-structured content can easily be ignored by software dealing with the structured parts only. So why bother changing the
<event> model at all?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">I do think that introducing a <desc> element or the like to wrap the potential unlimited number of paragraphs would be a good idea, though. Those ‘loose’ paragraphs
mixed in between the more ‘data-like’ elements do tend to make the encoding quite messy. I’d be happy to have them wrapped in some container to isolate them from the other information.
