I'm a little vague on the exact usage of some of these tags.  I've 
included comments where provided in the schema.

Question is: can we consolidate some of these?



<xs:element name="q">
<xs:element name="blockQuote">

(I understand the usage for these :)  )
It has been suggested on the list to use something like <q type="block">



<!-- close is a child of div and blockQuote, meant to deal with close of 
letters (Pauline for example) -->
<!-- dropped expansion attribute that was included by bad copying of 
element model, 24 May 2002, pld -->
<!-- restored seg as an element, 31 May 2002, pld -->
<!-- changed name to closer from close, 14 June 2002, pld -->
<!-- added lineGroup, list, signed, 18 June 2002, pld -->

<xs:element name="closer">


<!-- salute occurs in both blockQuote as well as p since encoders may 
choose to use different mechanisms contain material where a salute 
occurs -->
<!-- restored seg as an element, 31 May 2002, pld -->
<!-- added divineName, note, q, speaker, 18 June 2002 -->

<xs:element name="salute">


<!-- signed is used to record the ending of a text where the author 
indicates that they have issued a particular work -->
<!-- restored seg as an element, 31 May 2002, pld -->
<!-- added divineName, 18 June 2002, pld -->

<xs:element name="signed">


<!-- speaker will usually have content but is not required to do so, 
shifts in the character in poetic dialogue may not be explicitly marked 
in a text but the encoder wishes to make a claim about such speakers -->
<!-- added divineName, 18 June 2002, pld -->

<xs:element name="speaker">

<xs:element name="mentioned">


<!-- speech is used to mark direct speeches, reported speeches should be 
recorded using the q element -->
<!-- content model fixed to allow recursion, 24 May 2002, pld -->
<!-- commented out the key/keyRef for speech, 24 May 2002, pld -->
<!-- add who as attribute -->
<!-- restored seg as an element, add who as attribute, 31 May 2002, pld -->
<!-- added divineName, p, signed, transChange, 18 June 2002, pld -->

<xs:element name="speech">
