My only real complaint is with adopting CSS formatting over our own 
because we then become internally inconsistent.  I presume the idea 
behind this is to allow simpler stylesheets that do nothing but copy 
values rather than examining them and interpreting them.  The 
"illuminated" value and every x- value would break such a stylesheet.

An, admittedly much weaker, reason is that I think it suggests too 
strongly that what is being marked up here is presentation of the 
electronic form (i.e. how the document will be rendered from OSIS to the 
reader's screen/paper).  It may be the most common case that text marked 
<hi type="bold"> is rendered with <b> in HTML, but <hi> isn't really a 
rendering instruction.  It's an indication of source document presentation.

Much smaller nitpick, that I'm going to raise, but not lose any sleep 
over:  I don't see overline as useful.  The only places I've seen 
overlines drawn, e.g. in Coptic, it needs to be encoded in the text with 
the overscore character.  But, better safe than sorry, so feel free to 
ignore this paragraph completely.
