[osis-core] Chapter type?

[Todd Tillinghast]

Patrick,

I think we are experiencing the same thoughts on this issue.

I guess the question is do we want to allow:
<div type="bookGroup">
	<div type="book">
		<div type="chapter">
			<div type="section">
				<p/>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

OR would we want to see (and force the encoder to use type="x-chapter"
if they didn't want to use <chapter>:
<div type="bookGroup">
	<div type="book">
		<chapter>
			<div type="section">
				<p/>
			</div>
		</chapter>
	</div>
</div>


Of course you could always do:
<div type="bookGroup">
	<div type="book">
		<div type="section">
			<p/>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

I like being able to use <div type="chapter"> but it encourages two ways
to encode a chapter container AND because we will now be using <chapter
mS="abc"/> and <chapter mE="abc"/> milestones we should probably
encourage use of <chapter> as the container as well (discourage use of
<div type="chapter">).  

My [conflicted] opinion: remove "chapter" from the enumerated types for
<div>.
