I agree with classed spans defniely for the reasons above, and becuase a 
classed span can also have a lang attribute (or the rendered passage can) that 
can then be used to provide an alternate rendering to small caps via an 
external or internal style-sheet. But still, all this begs the question of if 
the divine name tag is even needed (see my other email) and if so, in 
languages without small caps how would the reader expect it to be? Or if we're 
the first what would the best way to render be that allows print bibles to 
imitate?
