[sword-devel] Suggestions: Red-Letter type Mark Up for Messianic References in OT

I forgot to mention that <seg> is generic for 'segment' and the type 
attribute, like other types, allows an 'x-' prefix for your own custom 
type, so, worst case, you could always mark things as, e.g.,

<seg type="x-encouraging">some encouraging verse text here</seg>

But typically x- tags won't ever be recognized as anything specific by 
OSIS software.  If you want to be an OSIS-validating doc with some of 
your own markup, then this would be a way to do it.
