Smaller structures
All portions of the text contain numbered stanzas which
should be tagged as line-groups <LG>, with the stanza
number transferred to the "N" attribute of the <LG> tag.
When additional text is included at the head of a
stanza, include it all as part of the heading for
that stanza, e.g.
Record this: (150. Beggar and Hoccleve.)
as this:
<HEAD>(150. Beggar and Hoccleve.)</HEAD>
All portions of the text contain verse lines (<L>),
many of them numbered (<L N="">).
Milestones
1. Folio references appear in the margin in brackets,
like this:

Record as:
<MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="38a">
<MILESTONE UNIT="folio" N="38b">
