Require a new pair of attributes for the <chapter> element to be used for unambiguously identifying the start and end location for a chapter.
Add the attribute sid for identifying the chapter start location
Add the attribute eid for identifying the chapter end location
Background
USX 3.0 adds a pair of attributes to <verse> (sid and eid) (see #34) which are used to unambiguously identify the start and end position for scripture verse text within the scripture discourse structure. This is a companion pair of attributes for <chapter>.
In USX 3.0 a <chapter/> milestone is required at the start and at the end of the verse text, with corresponding sid and eid attributes. In previous versions of USX, only a <chapter/> start milestone was required.
Example
Genesis 2:23-25
<chapter number="1" style="c" sid="GEN 1" />
<para style="s">The Story of Creation</para>
<para style="p">
<verse number="1" style="v" sid="GEN 1:1" />In the beginning, when God created the universe,
...
<verse number="31" style="v" sid="GEN 1:31" />God looked at everything he had made,
and he was very pleased. Evening passed and morning came—that was the sixth day.
<verse eid="GEN 1:31" />
</para>
<chapter eid="GEN 1" />
<chapter number="2" style="c" sid="GEN 2" />
