Repeatability for <ref> and <ptr> misleading in EAD3 tag library

[erussey]

In the EAD3 tag library description for <ref>, the availability of the tag is listed as optional and repeatable within all parent elements except <ptrgrp>. This is incorrect for <indexentry> (which is listed as one of the elements that <ref> can occur within), which requires an intermediate <ptrgrp> for multiple <ref>.

Well spotted, @erussey - thanks very much.

<indexentry> indeed can either have a single <ref> or a single <ptr> or it can use <ptrgrp> to allow for either of <ref> or <ptr> to be repeated. The same misleading repeatability statement therefore also is effective for <ptr>.

@alexduryee - could you please have a look at this and prepare a correction of the "Availability" section for both, <ref> and <ptr> to state the following:

Within <ptrgrp>: One of <ptr> or <ref> is required, repeatable Within <indexentry>: Optional, not repeatable Within all other parents: Optional, repeatable

Fix is live on development - should we close this?
