TEI P4 did not (could not) cover everything!
The TEI has always beeen ahead of the pack in promoting evolutionary change:
Some parts of TEI P4 were successfully experimental (e.g. the extended pointer syntax, corpus metadata)...
... some were influentially experimental and have become FaQs (‘frequently answered questions’) e.g. synchronization and standoff
... others were just experimental, and have been overtaken by events (e.g. writing system declaration, feature structures, terminology...)
A key deliverable: better tools for customization and integration
