[MEI-L] form & function

[Johannes Kepper]

Hi all,

what about renaming physdesc to desc and putting a classification  
(instead of musicclass) in there? This kind of information is  
descriptive, so it might be a good idea to put these things together…  
Choosing the name msdesc without having the same content as tei:msdesc  
is of course not an option, and definitely not what I intended.
