At Calvin, we decided (though I don't recall all of the details) that
commentaries were, at the most basic level, <p>'s and could have
<catchWord>'s if necessary. We contemplated having to add <catchWord>
to <p>, only to realize that's where it was allowed in the first place
for notes.
That said...

Todd,
It seems like this _should_ be a <p> to me. Most commentaries I've seen
have the catchWord heading a paragragh and distinguished
typographically. But I can conceive of presentation in which the
catchWord is like a title, on a separate line, outside the paragraph of
annotation. I don't think it constitutes a title in those
circumstances, and it could be represented by a separate <p>.
