Possible exception in which we allow placeName in persName?

[davidamichelson]

In the additions, when a scribe or other person connected to the manuscript (not the content) is mentioned with a geographic epithet perhaps we do want to allow placeName as child of persName with both taking URI because this is a place related to the history of the ms?

<p>On <locus from="258a">fol. 258 a</locus>, after the doxology, we read the following note, giving the date and stating that the volume was written at <placeName ref="http://syriaca.org/place/78">Edessa</placeName>, at the expense of the deacon <persName>Thomas of Zěmārtā Castra</persName>.</p>

Related to #1512

I'm amenable to this. However, does the placeName as epithet necessarily relate to the location where this scribe did his work? Or might it just be a name reflecting his place of origin, etc.

I would say that we should just encode these names in this way

<p> 
     ... 
     <persName ref="http://syriaca.org/person/51">Severus</person> of 
     <placeName ref="http://syriaca.org/person/10>Antioch</placeName> 
     ... 
</p>

Maybe, but we also want to capture the full name for other uses (such as display in search) so that is less desirable.
