 don't assume everybody knows what "to milestone" means Maybe I should at least briefly explain it. In many areas (especially in documents processing) there is a problem with multiple possible hierarchies overlapping each other (e.g., in Bibles there are divisions of text which are going across verse and chapters boundaries and sometimes terminating in the middle of verse, many especially English Bibles marks Jesus' sayings with a special element, etc.). One of the ways how to overcome obvious problem that XML doesn't allow overlapping elements is to use milestones. So that the book of Bible is not divided like <book> <chapter> <verse>text</verse> ... </chapter> ... </book> but just putting milestones in the text, i.e.: <book> <chapter n="1" /> <verse sID="ID1.1" />text of verse 1.1 <verse eID="ID1.1" /> .... </book> Is this clear?
