[osis-core] <lb> element - did we make a mistake when we added it?

[Todd Tillinghast]

Patrick,

I am not sure we need to deprecate <milestonePt type="line"> because I
don't think anyone is using it.  (This taken in perspective with the
removal of splitID.)

Does that mean that the next release will remove it?
