[MEI-L] history of sources / items

[Axel Teich Geertinger]

Hi Johannes/Kristina/Joachim

As far as I remember <history> was not actively dropped from source and item, it just never has been implemented.  Introducing it could be a good idea indeed. 
In that context I would like to call to mind the question about the <provenance> element again, now placed in <physDesc>. It has been suggested moving it to <physLoc>, but placing it in a history element seems even better to me. 
But yes, that would break backward compatibility :-(

Best wishes, 
Axel

We have it on works and expressions, but not on these two. However, it might be interested to write something about the creation of a source (which is not the same as the provenance, which is available). Can someone please remind me of our argument to drop it? Otherwise, it would be a fault that we might want to correct…
