Change <gen>animal</gen> (and also 'child', 'human', ...) to <usg>...

[iljackb]

currently I am using gender for where verbal and other forms are specific to children, animal, wood, deities, etc. but there isn't really grammatical gender but simply it is the semantics of the subjects and objects involved.

Currently I'm encoding in the dictionary context as follows:

        <gramGrp>
            <per>3</per>
            <number norm="plural">pl</number>
            <gen cert="medium">child</gen>
            <gram type="register" norm="informal">inf</gram>
        </gramGrp>

I should clearly change <gen> to <usg> but the questions are:

What to put as the @type value?

Where should I put the usage? (in the example I took this from it is a paradigm and in order to keep it with the form, the only other option is putting it in <form type="inflected">)

I thought you would put <gram type="register" norm="informal">inf</gram> as <usg>. Concerning these usages of <gen>, I would resort to <gram> with appropriate types so that you can precisely qualify what you are talking of (subject, object etc.).
