Can you tell me what the "parenthetical statement" is in the text you cite?

In the CEV, I see the angel start speaking at Daniel 10:20 Then the 
angel said... and that speech appears to continue to the end of Daniel 
11:1. (In layout at least, the CEV seems to treat the entire passage as 
a blockQuote.)

If all the statements are to Daniel (unlike the other examples you have 
cited for other cases which are "go and say 'what to say'") I don't see 
how to make a distinction in the various parts of this speech.

It would help if I could see some distinction for why a text would be so 
divided. (Tell me again what edition you are using and I will order it 
from Amazon for overnight delivery. The ones I have on hand don't make 
the distinctions that you are citing.)

If worse came to worse, I would mark it with <seg type="unknown"></seg> 
since I can see no reason for the segmentation. Could just ignore it 
(from a markup standpoint and leave the "(" and ")" in the text but that 
seems to be ducking the issue.
