Your old files will not work with P5:
-
<TEI.2> is now <TEI> and <teiCorpus.2> is now <teiCorpus>
-
TEI elements are in the http://www.tei-c.org/P5/ namespace
-
many attribute values may have changed… Y|N is now
true|false
-
… or disappeared
-
text-valued attributes to become child elements
-
lang to become xml:lang
-
id to become xml:id
-
all IDREF (target) values to become URLs
-
Your TEI extension files will almost certainly require
re-writing —but there will be substantial payoffs
