Commentary structure in OSIS is actually well defined (and stable, I 
would say). You basically write what you want to write (using divs and 
p's, primarily, for structure), identify the annotation type (e.g. 
commentary) via the annotateType attribute, and then identify what it is 
you're annotating via the annotateRef attribute.

Dictionaries aren't well defined (in terms of structure internal to an 
entry), but the level with which Sword would likely interact with a 
dictionary is just the entry level itself (i.e. <div type="entry"/>).
