The <add> element contains material inserted by an author, scribe, annotator, or corrector. The agent responsible for the addition may be encoded using the @hand attribute, while the @resp attribute records the editor or transcriber responsible for identifying the hand of the addition. The @cert attribute signifies the degree of certainty ascribed to the identification of the hand of the addition. The editor(s) responsible for asserting this particular reading may be recorded in the @resp attribute. The value of resp must point to one or more identifiers declared in the document header.
In no case should <add> contain elements that would not otherwise be permitted to occur within the parent of its own <app> ancestor. For example, when used as a descendent of <verse>, <add> should only contain those elements allowed within <verse>.
The model of this element is based on the add element of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).
