Summary: Tagging for subtler breaks or "pauses" within a chapter

Initial Comment:
In the chapters of some books, there will be a block of
paragraphs on a subject, then extra space or a little
centered separator symbol (maybe a row of dots), and
then another block of paragraphs, etc.

It would be nice if this sort of subdivision were
semantically coded. The obvious way to do it would be
with an empty tag, such as <pause/>, <separation/>, or
<chapterpause/>. Alternatively, it could be coded with
a pair of tags surrounding each subdivision. For example,

<chapter>
<title>About Foo</title>

<foosubdiv>
Stuff, stuff, and more stuff. Blah, blah, blah . . .

</foosubdiv>

<foosubdiv>
Yet more stuff . . . .

</foosubdiv>

. . . 

</chapter>

The former way (empty tag) is probably easier to
implement. The latter is probably more reflective of
the semantics.
