Yes, at least I think so. Sorta compelled by having only one hierarchy. 
(cf. my notes on how I am trying to solve that particular problem with 
JITTs.)

Why would you want to have a <p> in mid-verse? Recall that we attempted 
to create an encoding for text structure, not how someone laid out the 
typography in a particular case. (Noting that most of the typography I 
have seen in Bibles is pathological from the standpoint of conveying 
information. Just the facts M'am, not all the fancy display stuff that 
is more annoying than useful. Yes, highly personal opinion and probably 
not representation of a community larger than one. ;-)

At the risk of asking you to repeat information you have sent at another 
time, can you post an example of this sort of text? Just a snippet so we 
can see what it is trying to do?

If is it just breaks in the text flow, I would just use the milestones. 
Particularly if it has no reference points, like verses do where I can 
direct you to a particular verse.
