The NET has <l /> for poetic line breaks but there isn't an allowance 
for a space if this isn't turned into a poetic line break (see Ps 23 
for examples)

<hi type="italic">A psalm of David.</hi><milestone type="line" />The 
<hi type="small-caps">Lord</hi> is my shepherd,<l />I lack nothing.<l 
/>

He takes me to lush pastures,<l />he leads me to refreshing water.<l 
/>

He restores my strength.<l />He leads me down the right paths<l />for 
the sake of his reputation.<l />

Even when I must walk through the darkest valley,<l />I fear no 
danger,<l />for you are with me;<l />your rod and your staff reassure 
me. <l />

You prepare a feast before me <l />in plain sight of my enemies.<l 
/>You refresh my head with oil;<l />my cup is completely full. <l />

Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all my days, <l 
/>and I will live in the <hi type="small-caps">Lord</hi>'s house for 
the rest of my life. <l /> </div>

With sword.exe 1.5.8 rc1 and NET 0.9.3 (using mod2vpl), there are 
missing spaces.

A psalm of David.
The Lord is my shepherd,I lack nothing.

He takes me to lush pastures,he leads me to refreshing water.

He restores my strength.He leads me down the right pathsfor the sake 
of his reputation.

Even when I must walk through the darkest valley,I fear no danger,for 
you are with me;your rod and your staff reassure me.

You prepare a feast before me in plain sight of my enemies.You refresh 
my head with oil;my cup is completely full.

Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all my days, and 
I will live in the Lord's house for the rest of my life.

Also, the NET uses the following as sort of a paragraph grouping 
convention:
<milestone type="line" /><milestone type="line" />
<milestone type="line" /> <milestone type="line" />
<milestone type="line"/><milestone type="line"/>
