[osis-core] OT Quote in NT

[Troy A. Griffitts]

This is not an _actor_ in the narrative speaking a quote, this the 
_author_ citing the Old Testament.  I don't agree with using <q> to mark 
anything other than the former.  In fact I strongly disagree with your 
mentioned usage within a commentary.

I'm using <cite type="OT"></cite> for now, until we decide.  I'm sure 
we've spoken about this.  I had thought it was included in the most 
earliest incarnations of OSIS.
