[osis-core] Selah

[Patrick Durusau]

Chris,

I went back over the discouseMarker traffic and it turned out that no 
one wanted it, although for the sake of completeness, brother Todd did 
offer the following content model (should the element be adopted):

> Let <discorseMarker> be a child of anything that <divineName> is
> currently a child of and let <discorseMarker> have the same children as
> <divineName>.  With the necessary accommodations for containing each
> other.

He also noted we could settle this in August but I don't recall that we 
ever reached the issue.

I think it is fair that our linguistic friends (Kees and Kirk) both 
agreed that it was too vague to be useful for linguistic markup.

So, with all that in mind, what shall we do with Selah?

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
