Thanks, Mark. As a note, but we can discuss later how to best do this: this issue was meant for the EAD Schema (simple) - see label -, which would be one of the alternative schemas to discuss at the Washington meeting - see milestone. I.e. the EAD Schema (general) should, for now, still have @altHead, while it should be removed in the EAD Schema (simple).

TS-EAS has decided to move forward with this issue when discussing it at the EAD revision meeting in Washington, DC, on 24 July 2023.

Tested successfully. Neither the XSD nor the RNG include @althead anymore.

If defining a running header for a website or other type of presentation format is indeed desired to mimic the display in a printed finding aid, the enabling of XHTML elements in <formattingExtension> (see #62), which will be available in the majority of elements that use <head> in EAD3 with the exception of <identificationData> and the numbered and unnumbered <c> elements, would provide alternatives, e.g. using the lowest level header element <h6> or a <div> element for this purpose.
