style='font-size:12.0pt'>At its most basic level, the DCRM transcription
principle is to transcribe the content, but not the form, of printed text.
Thus, we retain archaic and incorrect spellings, but normalize capitalization
and line endings -- the former being content, the latter form. The digraph
question comes down to this: do digraphs represent content (does their joining
together actually create a new letter) or do they represent form (just a
conventional way of writing these combinations of letters)? We as a group are
leaning more toward the consideration of digraphs as content. What do you
think? </span></font></p>
