[osis-core] Selah

[Chris Little]

Selah is a very common thing to mark though, suggesting that we ought to 
have a standard manner of indicating it. (And our position with <seg> 
has always been that we won't use it for anything we designate ourselves.)

General Bible Format and Lockman's markup both offer presentational 
"right justify" tags that are used exclusively for selah.  Perhaps we 
need a special element for it, or it might be a type of another element 
(e.g. the proposed <discourseMarker> element).
