I mean identifying some point or phrase-level segment of text as something
that should go into an index of a particular type. Word processors generally
have a way to mark words and phrases for inclusion in a subject index, and
that would be the type of use envisaged. It could be empty, in which case
you'd need to have a "title" as the index entry, or it could be a container,
in which case you could use the contents of the <index> element. So, I
suppose, all the attributes would have to be optional and the content model
would be like "seg".

Yes, something like that.  But there are really two essential attributes,
at least in the way the CCEL uses such things: the _type_ of the commentary
as well as the target.

Maybe it would be sufficient to be able to specify a referenceType for a
pointer?  E.g. <div outCite="..." citeType="Commentary">

Maybe that could even be a general attribute that could be used in
all tags?  One could say that a <linegroup> is a versification of a
certain psalm with that attribute, for example.
