Sounds reasonable.

Sounds good!

I am ;-). Some of our apps query TEI P4 texts, which make more frequent 
use of attributes to store information. For example, we have many 
collections where names are normalised as follows:
<name reg="Presley, Elvis">The King</name>

When searching for "Presley", it would be great not only to find this 
instance (no problem), but to have it highlighted as well.

Kind regards,

Ron
