So we are suggesting using something like:
<startMilestone type="q" ID="1234" />
this is a quote
<endMilestone IDREF="1234" />
?
Not sure if I like this better than:
<q mStart="1234" />
this is a quote
<q mEnd="1234" />
At least with the latter, when we're processing the quote tag <q> we'll
get both the container and the milestone usages.
The downside of using the former is that when looking for any tag, I'll
need to search for <tag> AND also for <startMilestone type="tag">
The downside of using the latter is that when processing any tag with
attributeGroup 'milestone' (which would contain attributes 'mStart' and
'mEnd'), I have to check for attribute 'mStart' to see if I'm a
container or a milestone type of tag.
Still better like the way the latter looks.
