[osis-core] Esth. corrected

Todd,

It sounds like you're advocating using milestones everywhere all of the 
time, at least for <verse>.  If that were our desire, why would we have 
included <verse> as a container at all?

The KJV is every bit as complex as any other Bible in terms of its 
needing milestones to mark structures such as quotations, which will 
cross verse boundaries.  But the real issue here is to make the example 
as simple as humanly possible.  To that end, I think it should be 
limited to containers.  From that point, the manual can build more 
complicated structures and detail to the user why to use milestones 
instead of containers in certain circumstances, etc.
