With regard to OSIS, if there are short-comings, we should try to influence the standard. This is a proper venue for how we at CrossWire would like to work with OSIS.

Regarding the <l> element and indents here is what the manual has to say:
*l: The l element is used to mark separate lines in a lg (line group) element. This will be most commonly used in the encoding of poetry.*

*The level attribute takes a positive integer value that indicates which line in a line group is being encoded. This can be used in processing to insure proper indentation of lines.*

If I understand this right, the level attribute should be used to indicate the depth of indentation. Perhaps level="1" and level not being specified should mean the same thing. And ESV should be re-coded to have it properly set.

(I'd like Chris' input!)

This is precisely my understanding as well, and I try to encode using this semantic for the level attribute on <l>. The usfm2osis.pl converter, for example, should interpret the level indicators in SFM and copy those to the level attribute. So, in theory, there should be a number of Bibles already encoded like this (just don't ask me to remember which they are).
