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

[Patrick Durusau]

Todd,

Can you offer a more specific term than group? Sounds a lot like 
section, majorSection, or subSection. Can you offer a term that 
distinguishes how it would be used as opposed to one of the others?

Thanks!

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
