[osis-core] Selah

[Todd Tillinghast]

Patrick,

Can we put a note in the user documentation regarding the use of <seg
type="x-selah"> similar to <seg type="x-otPassage">?

I got email today regarding this issue.  

There is a USFM format marker /qs for "selah" for which there is no
official mapping to OSIS.

Todd
