So... assuming we do not immediately and broadly implement my suggestion 
of indenting all paragraphs, we could copy the x-indent attribute that 
David notes is used in the ESV. I suspect the ESV uses these for poetic 
lines, not paragraphs, but it should work fine for paragraphs.

usfm2osis.py does not employ x-indent, so there won't be a clash with 
different semantics. (usfm2osis.py does emit x-indented-1, etc. for 
block indented paragraphs, but that's slightly different.)

So, we might take OSIS:

<p type="x-indent">lorem ipsum</p>

and generate XHTML:

<p class="indent">lorem ipsum</p>


And add some CSS to the header section:

.indent
{
text-indent: 5em;
}
