Todd,
	I'm planning on making a decision in my code which elements get split 
and which ones don't.  That decision is probably what you suggest below: 
to keep testament/book/chapter/verse DOM hierarchy.

I will probably use <p> and <q> milestones everywhere, instead of trying 
to split.  It's just too complex and too messy inside the doc to deal 
with splitting quotes all over.

The alternative is to split quotes sometime, verses othertimes, and 
paragraphs, still othertimes, to make the doc the least messy.

This alternative makes for very difficult stylesheet creation and 
otherwise complicates any kind of computer processing in general.

	-Troy.
