<!P> and <!/P> get generated by TEIHTMLHREF and OSISHTMLHREF for
paragraphs, and if anything, should be changed into open/closing <p> tags.

It looks like one of the markers which gets processed in this way (but only
one) are the

<milestone marker="¶" type="x-p"/>

tags in the KJV which also get turned into this construct. BPBible
generates a paragraph break here too, which I think is desirable, though it
may not match a print KJV.

God Bless,
Ben
