  • The dedication to Venus and Adonis has the salutation right-aligned; that can't be right?

  • I think we can remove the z3998:letter, z3998:sender semantic from the VaA and RoL dedications; it's not really a letter, it's just an addressed dedication. I would also move it in to the header element.

  • the RoL argument can have the semantic "prologue". I think that fits, unless you think it's a preface instead.

  • Missing spans on Love’s Answer. and Threnos.

  • The ToC is incorrectly nested for The Passionate Pilgrim. This looks like a bug in print-toc but in the meantime let's get it fixed in the source.

  • In Sonnets, the top level parent should be a <section>, and the sonnets themselves shoudl be <article>s (because it's the individual sonnets that can be syndicated).

  • I think we can modernize the spelling in the sonnets dedication

  • Typo in dc:description: Wiliam

  • Typo in long description: make ends meat

  • Colophon: PG needs <abbr>

I forgot to mention: What does the spelling look like in the actual poems? Usually we don't modernize poetry, because the script may remove dashes that could change the meter. But because Shakespeare is so old we have the opportunity to do some harmless modernization, like eternitie -> eternity. (Which of course other editors have been doing to Shakespeare for ages already, anyway.) Changes like this are unlike adding an s to phoenix' because they are a sound-alike spelling change, and don't the meter. Is there an opportunity to do that here?
