If the main entries make reference to the sub-entries, it might be good 
to keep separate entries for each.  But I think it would also be 
reasonable to use <div type="entry"> to contain the whole set 
(112+112a+112b) and to use <div type="section"> (or some other 
appropriate div type) to contain each of the two sub-entries separately 
(112a & 112b).

This is probably a bug in one of the markup filters.  As long as the 
module itself is expressed in valid OSIS, we will fix the software to 
display it correctly.

Using empty containers (i.e. <p></p>) would not be conformant OSIS.  You 
can put the sub entries within paragraphs inside of <div> elements, 
which should achieve your desired rendering.

There is also an <lb/> element, that represents a linebreak.  But this 
is highly discouraged and would not be appropriate for this document.
