I strongly object.  (We actually had this discussion at the meeting in 
Dallas just over a year ago.)

The only valid use of <divineName> is for translations of underlying 
Hebrew Yahweh, so this is implied and redundant.  Marking El, Elohim, or 
Dagon with <divineName> would be equally incorrect usage.  <divineName> 
was added specifically and only for the tetragrammaton.
