[osis-core] <lb> element

[Todd Tillinghast]

Chris,

What would a "line break" mean if it were not in a "line" (<l> element)?


Isn't a line break outside of a line no longer a line break?

Is the following the kind of thing you are envisioning?
<p>text text text text text text text text text text text text <lb/>
text text text text text text text text text text text text</p>
(wouldn't this be a "paragraph break")

My thinking (and the logic that lead to adding the <lb/> element) was
that because recording a break within a line of poetry is common that it
made sense to add a simple, short, special purpose element, rather than
using the <milestone> element that was already available.  

For the other less common cases that occur outside of <l> the use of
<milestone> would be more consistent because there will be a number of
types of breaks that are not "line breaks" (page breaks, places where a
picture or study resource could be added, etc...).  By giving "line
break" special treatment outside of <l> would lead to inconsistent
marking of breaks in general.
