Where the difficulty in transcription arises from an identifiable cause, the @agent attribute signifies the causative agent. The @cert attribute signifies the degree of certainty ascribed to the transcription of the text contained within the <unclear> element. Where the difficulty in transcription arises from action (partial deletion, etc.) assignable to an identifiable hand, the @hand attribute signifies the hand responsible for the action. The @reason attribute indicates why the material is difficult to transcribe. The @resp attribute indicates the individual responsible for the transcription of the word, phrase, or passage contained with the <unclear> element. The value of @resp must point to one or more identifiers declared in the document header.
In no case should <unclear> 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>, <unclear> should only contain those elements allowed within <verse>.
The model of this element is based on the unclear element of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).
