[osis-core] New milestone use of elements

[Troy A. Griffitts]

ok, I know replying to myself is a little wierd, but after further 
thinking....

I understand the POSSIBILITY that there may be an excerpt with a start 
or end quote.  We probably should allow it.  If someone wanted the last 
10 verses of Jesus' Sermon On The Mount, I'd expect it to end with a </q>

BUT I still don't think we should allow a milestone without it's 
start/end counterpart.  That's like saying we'd allow </q> without the <q>.

I think we need to be hard and fast about the rule I stated earlier.

So, thinking further.....


If I wanted to encode an excerpt that started in the middle of a quote 
and contained the end of the quote.....

How would I encode it????

Let's not even think milestones here.  MILESTONES should not ADD 
functionality... Like providing the ability to solve this problem....


Would something like this be valid:

<q type="continuation">....</q>


dunno the best way to solve it, but it should be solved the same whether 
using an XML container or a milestone.
