Kees,
Embedded quotes do force the use of a "splitID". It is possible to have
the following embedded quote:
<verse>And he said <q>We should do as our fathers said <q>always use XML
</q> and keep faithful to our heritage</q>.</verse>
It is only when a <q> is "interrupted" due to other elements (<l>
elements in Ps) that we use "splitID" to indicate that several <q>
elements would have been encoded as a single <q> element had it not been
for the overlapping hierarchies.
I am beginning to prefer the use of milestones for longer quotes, over
using <q> elements that are split. Both are acceptable encoding
techniques within the schema.
