[osis-core] Study Notes

We already have:

<xs:enumeration value="allusion"/>
<xs:enumeration value="alternative"/>
<xs:enumeration value="background"/>
<xs:enumeration value="citation"/>
<xs:enumeration value="crossReference"/>
<xs:enumeration value="devotional"/>
<xs:enumeration value="encoder"/>
<xs:enumeration value="exegesis"/>
<xs:enumeration value="explanation"/>
<xs:enumeration value="speaker"/>
<xs:enumeration value="study"/>
<xs:enumeration value="translation"/>
<xs:enumeration value="variant"/>

My first reaction is to say that we just add types to <note>. Todd will 
say we are losing information but what purpose is served by saying a 
note is a study note of a particular type? Seems to me it would be more 
important to say it is history, glossary, textual criticism, etc. than 
saying it was a study note.

Would really prefer to not step on the subType attribute, which we have 
reserved for users.

Hope you are having a great day!
