[osis-core] <milestone> in <title>?

The <milestone> element is supposed to serve as a generic
"here" marker for identifying locations for unanticipated 
purposes. However, it can't appear in a <title> element.

I can think of a number of reasons you might want to put a 
<milestone> in a <title>.  The one that's causing me headaches
right now is that I want to use <milestone type="br"> to 
identify line breaks. E.g.

<title>MEISTER<br/>ECKHART'S<br/>SERMONS</title>

I want to write

<title>MEISTER<milestone type="br"/>ECKHART'S...etc.

Can we add <milestone> to the <title> content model?
Or do you have another suggestion for handling line
breaks?

I suppose I could use <p> instead of <title>, i.e.

<p type="title">MEISTER<milestone type="br"/>...

Perhaps that is what I will have to do unless the schema
is changed.
