In addition to the four required modules (header, core, tei, and textstructure, so called because among them they contain the underpinnings of the TEI class system, and all of the elements that are actually required for a conformant TEI schema), this customization loads the modules for drama and for linking, segmentation, and alignment. The latter provides the @next and @prev attributes which are often useful when dramatic speeches overlap verse lines in a non-hierarchical manner. Other global attributes which are normally provided by this module have been deleted from this customization. In addition the global @xml:base and @xml:space attributes have been removed.

att.global.linking
defines the attributes used for aggregating partial elements into a single virtual element.
@corresp
@synch
@sameAs
@copyOf
@next
a URI which should point to an element of the same type, typically within the same document
@prev
a URI which should point to an element of the same type, typically within the same document
@exclude
@select

att.global
provides a set of attributes common to all elements in the tei_drama customization of the TEI encoding scheme.
@xml:space
@xml:base
