Alright, that clears up that bit about the <divineName> element. When
I saw <divineName type='x-yhwh'> on p. 65, I thought that <divineName>
might encompass other types as well.
What about this solution:
. . . <name type="nonhuman" regular="God">Father</name> and of the
<name type="person" regular="Jesus Christ">Son</name> and of the
<name type="nonhuman">Holy Spirit</name> . . .
Never really thought about what the regular attribute means or what the
authors of OSIS intended. Perhaps, Chris can chime in.
This seems like a good use.
Regarding theology, most, including me, hold "...God in three persons,
holy trinity..." and that Jesus is God.
So having nonhuman apply to Father is a strong theological statement. So
is person = Son.
Note that the attribute regular="Holy Spirit" would have been
redundant on the last name.
Also, are we correct in leaving the definite article outside the
element in this case?
I think that name should only encompass the name.

Here's a question not entirely clear in the current OSIS
manual that has been bothering me:
Given the use of <name type="person">, <name type="nonhuman">,
and <divineName> elements, how should one mark up Matthew 28:16?
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit . . .
As Peter pointed out <divineName> is used for the Hebrew words
YHWH, which is translated into Lord, God and Yah. Not all Lord or
God are such a translation. The SWORD engine will try to render
the content as small caps.
The name element is used to identify names. There are a couple of
predefined values, but none seem to be appropriate for God, Jesus,
the Holy Spirit (the other divine names) or for the demonic.
IMHO, theologically, a single value classification is not quite
appropriate for God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit.
Where the choice of a predefined type is not deemed appropriate,
one can do one of two things:
1) Use no type.
<name>Father</name> and of the <name>Son</name> and of the
<name>Holy Spirit</name>
2) Roll your own type:
<name type="x-God">Father</name> and of the <name
type="x-Jesus">Son</name> and of the <name type="x-Spirit">Holy
Spirit</name>
Hope this helps some.
In Him,
DM
