    <!ENTITY % a.divn '
          %a.metrical;
          type CDATA #IMPLIED
          org (composite | uniform) "uniform"

Attributes | (In addition to global attributes and those inherited from metrical)
`type` | specifies a name conventionally used for this level of subdivision, e.g. ‘act’, ‘volume’, ‘book’, ‘section’, ‘canto’, etc.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: any string of characters
| Default: #IMPLIED
`org` | specifies how the content of the division is organized.
| Datatype: (composite | uniform)
| Legal values are:
composite | composite content: i.e. no claim is made about the sequence in which the immediate contents of this division are to be processed, or their inter-relationships.
uniform | uniform content: i.e. the immediate contents of this element are regarded as forming a logical unit, to be processed in sequence.
| Default: uniform
`sample` | indicates whether this division is a sample of the original source and if so, from which part.
| Datatype: (initial | medial | final | unknown | complete)
| Legal values are:
initial | division lacks material present at end in source.
medial | division lacks material at start and end.
final | division lacks material at start.
unknown | position of sampled material within original unknown.
complete | division is not a sample.
| Default: complete
`part` | specifies whether or not the division is fragmented by some other structural element, for example a speech which is divided between two or more verse stanzas.
| Datatype: (Y | N | I | M | F)
| Legal values are:
Y | the division is incomplete in some respect
N | either the division is complete, or no claim is made as to its completeness.
I | the initial part of an incomplete division
M | a medial part of an incomplete division
F | the final part of an incomplete division
| Default: N
Note | The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is clear how the division is to be reconstituted.
