Patrick,
	Not sure what you intend other uses of this to be for, but it was
originally posed for the very specific case in printed texts of:

<smallcaps>LORD</smallcaps> (or GOD) = YHWH in original but changed out
of reverence


Not just for any reference to a diety, or even The Diety.

	-Troy.

To allow the use of this schema for simple publishing of bibles prior to the appearance of the publishing module (projected for late 2002), the divineName element should be used to mark references to the Deity.</p>
