Re: <sp> dans <seg>

Hi Ioana,

I might be misunderstanding without a clear example, but if the=20
entirety of the speech is relating to a particular interpretation=20
then why not use the @ana attribute on the speech itself?  Then=20
where the interpretation stops or changes mid-speech then mark it=20
using <seg> inside the paragraph or verse lines. <seg> is=20
definitely only intended for phrase-level segments of text. =20
(<ab> is the equivalent for paragraph-like anonymous blocks.)

<sp ana=3D"#confrontation">
<p>Some text</p>
</sp>
<sp ana=3D"#confrontation">
<l>Some verse continuing the confrontation</l>
</sp>
<sp>
<p><seg ana=3D"#confrontation">Here some confrontation</seg> <seg=20
ana=3D"#somethingElse">a different segment of interpretation</seg></p>
</sp>

These can indeed point to <interp> elements as you note, those=20
for some forms of more taxonomical interpretation there are those=20
who use @ana to point to a hierarchical <taxonomy> of many=20
<category> and sub <category> elements.

But maybe I've misunderstood.

Best wishes,
James
