[tei-council] MD chapter revised: namespace rules

I have now checked in a completely rewritten version of chapter MD. Its 
content (I now realize)  overlaps somewhat with the ODD Customization 
Manual that Sebastian wrote many moons ago, which foolishly I did not 
think of using as source material, until too late; instead I tried to 
stick to the original goal of describing just as much as is necessary to 
motivate the following discussion of what conformance means.

Inter alia, and as a straw man, I'd like to propose for discussion the 
following draconian rules about the use of namespaces in modification:

1. New elements may not be placed in the TEI namespace
2. If new attributes are added to a TEI element, the resulting element 
must be moved out of the TEI namespace.
3. Only modified elements which have undergone a clean modification [1] 
may remain in the TEI namespace.
4. If a TEI element is renamed, it may not remain in the TEI namespace, 
except that TEI namespaces are defined for systematic renaming of TEI 
elements into different languages.

[1]A  "clean" modification is defined in chapter MD as one which results 
in a schema that matches a proper subset of the documents matched by an 
unmodified schema.

Comments? Alternative proposals?
