[osis-core] <div type="acrostic">

[Chris Little]

Todd,

We already have a mechanism for achieving what you want here that doesn't 
introduce specially named sections (which should simplify stylesheet 
creation).  In that system, you would encode acrostic divisions as 
sections containing title elements of type 'acrostic', such as:

<chapter osisID="Ps.119">
<div type="section">
	<title type="acrostic">'aleph</title>
	<lg>...</lg>
</div>
<div type="section">
	<title type="acrostic">Beth</title>
	<lg>...</lg>
</div>
...
</chapter>

To my knowledge, Ps.119 is the only place where the acrostic divisions
would actually be marked as divisions in text as <div>'s.  The other
acrostic Psalms (to my recollection) just use the verse as the acrostic
division.
