I agree to the analysis that <fw> is not milestone-like simply because
I want it to appear at that very same places. Having a new model
class (how about model.fwLike) is fine and allows for further
development.
BTW, the things I have been stuffing into <fw> are some kind of
running heads that were written at the beginning of a scroll,
indicating the title of the text, sometimes also its author and the
number of the scroll. Later, when these texts where printed and bound
in books, these milestones-with-content where retained, but now they
appear frequently in the middle of a page, interrupting the text
flow. And of course you have something similar at the end (although
there is usually only the title). I used to have <trailer> there, but
because of it belonging to div.bottom, I later rather put <fw> to use
here as well.
best, chw
