Dear all,

the content model of <creation> has changed with the new schema version 2012 allowing only text, <date> and <geogName>.
In our 2010-05 files I find examples such as:
<creation>
  <p>Zum Namenstag von <persname dbkey="A000537">König Friedrich August I. von Sachsen</persname> (Friedrichstag) am <date reg="1818-03-05">5. März 1818</date>.</p>
  <p>Vollendet am <date reg="1818-02-23">23. Februar 1818</date>.</p>
</creation>
That said, I'd have to throw away the information about paragraphs as well as about persnames if I was to transform this element to the new schema. While the description for <creation> says it should be in "narrative form" I can't imagine why the content model should be that strict?!
I'd favor as a content model probably just p+

Comments?
All the best
Peter
