Mary,

I've tended to use <odd> more than <add> simply because a lot of our additional data doesn't really fit into any of the <add> categories. Having said that, I have used the <index> option. 

Could you elaborate on what will be happening to <add> with the new version of the DTD? Maybe I need to re-think too.

All,
  Is anyone using <add> at this point for information that doesn't fit
neatly under its subelements? Right now we're putting some information
within the generic formatting (table, list) elements, such as: reel
concordances, genealogy charts, collection concordance by format, list of
legal abbreviations. I'm afraid this practice will be dubious in the new
version of the DTD when <add> is unbundled. Should we be thinking <odd>ly
instead? Many thanks!
