[osis-core] Re: <div type="group"> and Deut.33

[Todd Tillinghast]

All,

Kirk, thanks for the feed back on the Hebrew.  

Actually this is not the CEV but anther text that I got through Kees.

>From what you are saying it would seem most appropriate to encode this
section as a <lg>.

Does anyone have an interest in adding "group" to osisDivs anyway for
divisions in the text that would be contained in a <div type="section">,
<div type="subSection">, <speech>, etc... when <lg>, <list>, <p>, etc...
are not appropoate?

Todd
