[osis-core] quotes as highlight?

[Patrick Durusau]

Guys,

Jim Albright had a good question on the use of quotes as highlighting. 
That is the quotation marks are not for speech per se but for other reasons.

We don't have quote or doubleQuote as type on <hi> and I was thinking 
that we may need to add them.

Highlighting with quote marks is real common, usually for foreign words, 
which of course should be marked with <foreign> but I think we need to 
provide for cases where we simply don't know why quotes were used. 
Having done more volumes of some of the journals published by SBL in 
markup than I care to remember, I can assure you that quotes are used 
with no apparent rhyme or reason by some authors.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
