Investigate usefullness of ODD approach to defining panels, layout of panels and functionality

[pboot]

The TEI processing model is described here: https://tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/TD.html#TDPMPM.
We have tried to use the model in describing desired functionality of the Mondrian site. Is this a useful approach? Is there another way in which we can formally communicate (or define) desired functionality?

The TEI processing is very specific in defining a rendering of the TEI in HTML.

But we do not render the TEI by applying XML tech to transform the XML into HTML.

So, we will not be able to execute the ODD files, instead we will read them and translate them into specs for our systems, in yaml files.

But we do not have a formal spec for these yaml files, they are in flux, and they will be used by various parts of the pipeline.

All in all, we prefer descriptions in plain, semi-formal English.

Later on, when our yaml specs have matured, we could use them to fine-tune the specs further.
