What are type and title in #3?

Should we enumerate a set of div types for things we already know 
we'll need? Does that suffice for 4 (given we also add the ref to the 
passage it discusses)?

Is that div type='glossary'? Did we end up having a deflist, or at 
least a way to mark up the word as opposed to the defn?

Those all seem worth having....

Let's see, I had a big list of div types I made by reviewing a stack 
of print bibles.... now can i find it? Yup (obviously not all these 
belong in a base set; but for those that are common and appropriate 
to include, standard names would certainly be nice):
