Guys,

Dallas issue:


        Identifier with element

Original issue list says:

> The question I have is how do associate an identifier with an element. 
> For example if I wanted to say that a paragraph or other block of text 
> is about "anger".
>
> The best I can come up with is a <note> element with an osisRef to 
> desired text. (Similar to a cross reference)
>
> This will work with scripture text with a well defined reference 
> system, but for non-Biblical text that often does not have osisIDs 
> this becomes an issue. (This would likely be resolved if 
> XPath/XPointer like syntax were allowed in a reference or reference 
> like element.) (Todd)

Use the index entry within the element in question. Use the index or 
level1-4 attributes to record the information.
