I appreciate the problems with trying to use an inherently
tree-structured notation like XML to mark overlapping regions. I'm not
in touch with what the OSIS thinkers are thinking: other than the
milestone approach, has anybody considered combining in-line markup
identifying critical basic elements (probably words) with standoff
indexed markup? As a concrete (and over-simplified) example:
<t id="1">Jesus</t>
<t id="2">said</t>
<t id="3">,</t>
<t id="4">"</t>
<t id="5">You<t>
<t id="6">have</t>
<t id="7">said</t>
<t id="8">so</t>
<t id="9">.</t>
<t id="10">"</t>
with red-letter spans indexed with start-end indices <woc start="5"
end="9"/>. The standoff index markup doesn't need to nest, it just marks
spans.
