DHARMA_INSPallava00252.xml: fonts #4

@manufrancis,

You have indicated in the file DHARMA_INSPallava00252.xml the necessity to display 2 fonts family for both Tamil script and Vaṭṭeḻuttu. I can do so using the CSS fallback, however I need the possibility to distinguish between <div type='edition'> currently both are set on @xml:lang='tam'.

I see. What about this?

First <div type="edition" xml:lang="tam-vat"> or any convenient or standard script name for Vaṭṭeḻuttu

This first edition is meant to represent the inscription in its original script. But as many users cannot read this script, thus is the need of a second edition in Tamil script.

Second <div type="edition" xml:lang="tam-tam"> (which I like very much ;-)

And finally, third <div type="edition" xml:lang="tam-Latn"> The master encoding in transliteration, from which we will derive, as much as possible, by XSLT, the previous two editions in Indic characters.
