The <l>...</l> indicates whitespace. So this is appropriate.

Well, that may be, but from the lines below, it seems to me that the NET is using <l /> for poetic line breaks (equivalent to GBF's <CL>). Is this something that should be reported to the NET beta team?

Yes.


<hi type="italic">A psalm of David.</hi><milestone type="line" />The
<hi type="small-caps">Lord</hi> is my shepherd,<l />I lack nothing.<l
/>

He takes me to lush pastures,<l />he leads me to refreshing water.<l
/>

He restores my strength.<l />He leads me down the right paths<l />for
the sake of his reputation.<l />

<lb/> is the notion of a line break. <l> is the notion of a line.

This should be encoded as (new lines added for readability):
<title type="psalm" canonical="true">A psalm of David</title>
<lg>
<l>The <divineName>Lord</divineName> is my shepherd,</l>
<l>I lack nothing.</l>
<l>He takes me to lush pastures,</l>
<l>he leads me to refreshing water.</l>
<l>He restores my strength.</l>
<l>He leads me down the right paths</l>
<l>for the sake of his reputation.</l>
</lg>

Note: Style should not be marked up (e.g. <hi type="italic">) when there is an element which indicates content. In this case there is a notion of a psalm title and a divine name.
