It says right on the tag: "indent". So anyone at anytime, who knows some English, will know exactly what to do with this tag in any situation. It is ideal really. Please note that this would NOT be the case if IBT is required to encode these all as <p>...</p>.
Except we are not talking about humans who would do the representation, but programs.
If IBT is required to encode those hand placed indents as paragraphs, then this important aspect of these translations could be LOST forever in the future. Because at that time it may become unclear what a <p> really meant in this particular situation. They will wonder why the encoder had not simply put a milestone indent there if that's what they had intended.
Well, the only thing I ask you is to explain us the semantic meaning of the elements you want to have represented by indentation. What does that indentation MEAN? Perhaps you may persuade us that indentation of the every other line for lyrics could be universally applied. Or there is something really special MEANING in those verses which can be captured. But there is no meaning in "indent" as much as there is no meaning in <font> element (hint: there is tone written about the evil nature of <font> element).
