Sure, don't encode alternate endings. :-)

Seriously, looked at the NIV, which separate the alternate ending with a 
bar across the column and a note that reads: "[The earliest manuscripts 
and some other ancient witnesses don't have Mark.16-9-20.]"

So, looks like an addition <div>, since it is clearly setoff from the 
principal text. The portion that reads: "[The earliest...]" looks like a 
note to me. Does display inline, which is odd but I don't know of any 
reason why that could not be done.

Since the alternate endings are well known, don't we know that a 
reference to Mark.16.19 or higher is a reference to a non-standard 
ending of Mark?

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
