EpiDoc is the de facto standard for digital encoding of epigraphy, papyrology and other ancient or historical text-bearing objects.
Basically, if your object is as important as your text then EpiDoc may be the flavour of TEI XML for you. (Books, ecclectic editions of manuscripts etc maybe less so.)
