There isn't a "play" element, but we've added dialogue and poetry. Take a look
at those and the samples. We've converted all of Shakespeare's plays (courtesy of Jon
Bosak's xml versions and a simple transform).

We (Penguin UK) have take a very similar approach to the publishers'
subcommittee* and have successfully marked up a lot of drama (
Shakespeare and many others) using our schema (a stripped down DocBook
5 plus mark-up for lines/speeches/dialogs and so on).
We basically use the book element for plays, part for acts and chapter
for scenes. It works well.
We have similar extensions for poetry. The only difference between our
schemas and the SC's ones would be that we have namespaced our
extensions.
Summary of vaguely random drivel: DB works pretty well for drama
mark-up with fairly just a few minor additions mostly to handle
line-orientated text.
Am I being too picky looking for a separate wrapper Nic?
I'm thinking of either an extract from drama, or a complete piece,
being 'inserted' into some other text?
Perhaps one of those 'commented' books that students get for revision?
Then I'd be looking for a book/article etc, with a lower level wrapper
for the 'drama' or whatever it's called?
Is that usage rare in the publishing world?
