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

[Todd Tillinghast]

Patrick,

I can't think anything better than "group".  It IS a lot like section,
subSection, and majorSection as they are all divisions in the text.  In
this case a smaller division in the text with a different meaning.

I am open to a different name if you can think of one (although it will
be hard to find a name as short).

I am also open to abandoning the proposal and waiting to see what sort
of needs arise.  It will still be possible to do the same thing with
<div> (with not type attribute) and <div type="x-group">, BUT it is
fairly low cost to add "group" to osisDivs.

Todd
