I think this would be my choice. Quote marks are perfectly valid in
OSIS, you're just supposed to mark actual quotations with <q/>. Since
this isn't an actual quotation, it seems valid to just use the mark itself.

Don't think this is legal. An element with an sID needs to have an
associated eID element.

Don't think this is right either since it's not really a continuation quote.

The added ellipsis would be bad, but if marker="" is not equivalent to
no marker attribute, then that would be a good solution. I'm just not
sure about how XML defines empty attribute values.
