[osis-core] new half-verse milestonePt type?

[Chris Little]

Todd,

The only addition is a new type added to osisMilestonPt, so it uses the 
milestone element.  True, a halfVerse milestone outside of an <l> 
element is meaningless, but we'll have to assume those few who would use 
halfVerse wouldn't use it incorrectly.

A sample would look something like:
<l>pcdata pcdata<milestone type="halfVerse">pcdata pcdata</l>

And a style sheet would probably turn that into:
pcdata pcdata     pcdata pcdata
