[Troy A. Griffitts]

>> Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, ``Rulers and

>> ``He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH

>> ``And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name

I would suggest that Chris' statement, that, in the above quotation, 
continuation quotes should go:

	...at the beginning of the succeeding paragraph.
	It's not at all ambiguous.  There's no other possible
	interpretation, at least within modern documents.

is a little presumptuous as I would probably guess something completely 
different.  Lockman did not include <PM> paragraph break markers at 
these points where continuation marks are included (this text was 
directly from Lockman's data).  I would guess they were at the beginning 
of a new sentence.  But I am still not willing to place my presumption 
on their data.  I am still just trying to be a faithful scribe and 
encode the information that they have given me.


An additional support for a different tag, restated from a previous 
post, consider encoding the following:

According to Chris, continuation quotes should always go at the 
beginning of paragraphs where a quote spans the break and 'there is no 
other possible interpretation'(1)

Everything after "According to Chris" is a quote/cite/allusion to Chris' 
words much like the SMALL CAPS are used in most all new testaments.  I 
still it's a very different thing in most cases than a direct quote, and 
is akin to how we cite sources without quoting them directly in research 
papers.
