Today in the KJV module we have a construct like:
<divineName><w morph="x-Strongs:H3068">LORD</w></divineName>
but it could just as well have been translated into a phrase:
Here are a few from Genesis:
Gen.2.4:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">that the LORD</w></divineName>
Gen.2.5:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">the LORD</w></divineName>
Gen.2.7:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">And the LORD</w></divineName> Gen.2.22:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">which the LORD</w></divineName> Gen.3.23:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">Therefore the LORD</w></divineName> Gen.4.3:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">unto the LORD</w></divineName> Gen.4.4:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">thereof. And the LORD</w></divineName>
Gen.6.5:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">And GOD</w></divineName>
Gen.7.5:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">according unto all that the LORD</w></divineName> Gen.11.9:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">because the LORD</w></divineName> Gen.12.1:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">Now the LORD</w></divineName> Gen.12.4:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">as the LORD</w></divineName> Gen.13.13:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">before the LORD</w></divineName> Gen.16.2:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">Behold now, the LORD</w></divineName>
Gen.49.18:<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">O LORD</w></divineName>

Apart from the possibility that some are not tagged correctly (e.g. Gen 7.5), it seems to me that the words that stand before LORD (GOD, YAH or JEHOVAH...) are not actually part of the divine name.

The problem is that if you apply a style to divineName, it applies to the entire content.

It may be that it is appropriate that H03068 is translated into a phrase. If so it is appropriate for the <w>tag to surround more than one word.

It seems to me that a better way to encode:
<divineName><w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">the LORD</w></divineName>
would be:
<w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">the <divineName>LORD</divineName></w>

The problem is that OSIS does not allow for <divineName> to be contained by <w>. So the above construct does not work.

The best solution I can come up with is:
<w lemma="x-Strongs:H03068">the <seg><divineName>LORD</divineName></seg></w>
