Patrick,
Ah, yes, I see now that it was just commented out.
I was using seg to mark emphasized text since we lack emph. For that
purpose, it could be used just about anywhere that we can put CDATA.
But perhaps a real emph element would be preferrable to using seg since
seg hampers interchange. Alternately, we could provide some standard
seg types.
I was also considering using it to mark the authorship of a pentateuch
according to the documentary hypothesis, which would require that it
have next/prev so that it can cross hierarchy boundaries.
