[osis-core] quotes

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey Patrick.  Good to hear from you!

OK, a few things....

First, when perusing the xsd, I found the following statement.  Looks 
like it might be a holdover from the previous idea of segID.

<p>When segmenting quotes, use the same qID, and increment the segID to 
allow retrieval of the entire quotation.</p>


Second,  I thought we added a 'level' attribute to quote, but I don't 
see it.

Hope your teeth are well!
Yeah, KJV tends to leave lot's of 'markup' out.  I think I've even seen 
editions with NO quote marks anywhere.

Well, not sure what others do with this passage, but I think the answer 
to what you might be hinting at is, "I think we still want to support 
this type structure".

OK, so let me get this right.  We DID allow empty quotes?  So, we can do 
something like:

<q milestone_Start="someUniqueID27" />
This is my quote,
<q milestone_End="someUniqueID27" />
said Troy.

??  I thought I didn't get that in this version!  That's cool if we did 
(save the verbosity of the attribute name :) ).

Well, I'm still not sure how you mean to do the continuation quote. 
Could you give me an example?  In the following OSIS document excerpt, 
convert the " to a continuation element, for 20 points":

<q>
This is my quote.  It is very long and I'm about to start a new paragraph.
"This is a new paragraph preceded with a continuation quote.
</q>,
said Troy.

I'd like to talk about the Toronto training.  I'm looking around for 
cheap airfare now.  I'll let ya know if I find any good deals.  Any word 
from your friend about XLSTs for OSIS?
