[osis-core] allowing "short" as a <title> type

[Todd Tillinghast]

Patrick and Chris,

I acknowledge that we agreed that we should use divTitle for the "short"
name of a Bible book.

However, I believe that after we added divTitle months ago that we now
are seeing that there may be several different "titles" for the same
<div>.

PROPOSAL: remove or deprecate divTitle and encourage <title> or <title
type="???"> and add "short" as a value for type in <title>.

Another reason to remove divTitle is that it simplifies the model and
the training.  At present our documentation would have to say "for most
titles in <div> use a <title> element, but for the special case of a
Bible book name use the divTitle attribute".   Are there other cases
where divTitle should be used?  

If so, when do we use divTitle and when do we use a <title> element.
Lets remove this attribute that will lead to confusion and
inconsistency.
