[osis-core] Add <verse> to <inscription>

[Todd Tillinghast]

Patrick and Kees,

The case that I am certain occurs is where the end of an <inscription>
and the end of a <verse> (almost always a milestone) coincide.  

In general we have not specified a guideline(s) regarding what to do
with overlapping hierarchies when their starting and ending boundaries
coincide.

The following is not possible with the current schema:
<verse osisID="..." sID="A"/>...<inscription>.........<verse
eID="A"/></inscription>.

I don't think there has been very much experience with using
<inscription> because it is one of the elements that often requires
manual intervention when converting from SFM/USFM (where the many of the
text are originating from) to OSIS.  As we see greater use I think we
will see cases where a <verse> starts in the middle of an <inscription>.

Kees, can you comment on the possibility/likelihood of a verse starting
in the middle of an <inscription>?

Todd
