Steve et al.,

This is the repetition I am most concerned about:

> <header>
>   <title>Augustine's Confessions</title>
>   <creator role="Author">St. Augustine</creator>
>   <creator role="translator">Pusey</creator>
>   <publisher>S.P.C.K.</publisher>
>   <date>1912</date>
> 
>   <works>
>     <work osisWork="augustine.confessions.SPCK1912">     <!-- the
curren document -->
>       <title>Augustine's Confessions</title>
>       <creator role="author">St. Augustine</creator>
>       <creator role="translator">Pusey</creator>
>       <publisher>S.P.C.K.</publisher>
>       <date>1912</date>
>     </work>

Note that under the latest proposal you specify the <title> of 
the current document in the <header> and also in a <work> element.

I don't think there should be a <work> element for the current
document. Or, if there is, we should delete the <title> <creator>
etc. elements from the <header>.
