Disambiguate <emph> to <name> for ships, horses, etc. #10

For the names of ships, is it as simple as <emph><name>? Or perhaps <emph><name type="ship">? (Since I’m sure we’ll have further uses for <name>.)

Examples from the corpus:

<lb n="040434"/> […] On the <emph>Erin's King</emph> that day round the Kish.
<lb n="090755"/>[…] The <emph>Sea Venture</emph> comes home from Bermudas
<lb n="100725"/> […] Terrible affair that <emph>General Slocum</emph>
<lb n="100726"/>explosion.
<lb n="101098"/> […] the threemasted schooner <emph>Rosevean</emph> 
<lb n="153382"/> […] the <emph>Erin's King</emph>
<lb n="153383"/>sails,
<lb n="160450"/> […] The threemaster <emph>Rosevean</emph>
<lb n="160451"/>from Bridgwater with bricks.
<lb n="160653"/> […] a fellow sailed with me in the <emph>Rover</emph>
<lb n="160845"/>the schooner <emph>Hesperus</emph> […]
<lb n="160909"/> […] <emph>Palme</emph> on Booterstown strand.
<lb n="160913"/> […] the s. s. <emph>Lady
<lb n="160914"/>Cairns</emph> of Swansea run into by the <emph>Mona</emph> […]
<lb n="160916"/>Her master, the <emph>Mona</emph>'s,

There are also a few unmarked instances of ‘Erin’s King’ (one each in ‘Lestrygonians’ and ‘Nausicaa’) and Molly recalls (or does not quite recall):

that derelict ship that came up to the harbour Marie the Marie whatyoucallit (U 18.871–72)

I like <name="ship">. Then we can use <name="horse"> for Throwaway and the other racehorses. I'll generalize this issue title.

Nice. There are a few <emph>Throwaway</emph> in ‘Cyclops’ and at least one in ‘Circe’ too. The horse is named but rendered unmarked in ‘Oxen’. If we want to track down and tag such instances, a <name type="horse" rend="none"> ought to do it.
