[osis-core] level attrib added to <q>

[Patrick Durusau]

Troy,

Not sure what the level attribute buys you? Err, walk the stack? Parsing 
is from top down, at least for properly nested quotes.

Would have a better argument with milestones marking quotes, since there 
is no tree to walk down. But you would need to use Start and End 
milestones to carry the attribute and its value.

Can you say some more about this?
