  <!-- *************************************  <publicationStmt>  *********************************
                Used to group information about the publication and permissions of a work. All files will have an IIP copyright
                statement, which is stored in an external file called include_publicationStmt.xml. In the future, if an inscription has 
                special copyright or permissions, we can add more information after the included file.
                
                <idno>: Repeat the value that is in <title>.
                @xml:id is the IIP number.

             @who Type in your name. 
             The content of <change> can be a short description of what changes were made, for example:
                initial encoding; update original US Ep. values to P5 values; corrected xx; etc.

        Used to point to images of an inscription. 
          <graphic> (directly within <facsimile>) Use this if there is only a single "main" image without a special caption.
          <surface> Use <desc> and <graphic> within <surface> if there are mutiple images or if they have captions. <surface>
          pairs one or more images with a single caption. Usually, in US Ep. captions are only indicated when the image is of a detail.
          @url contains the name of the image file (no path or directory information, for now).
        <facsimile> can have more than one <graphic> or <surface>.
