Oh, good point about the Latin. According to one dictionary "quo" is
an archaic version of "quoth" (somewhat archaic itself), as in "Quoth
the the raven, 'Nevermore'". But I'm pretty sure that doesn't trump
the disadvantage of the Latin.


> <speech> and <spoken> are available but not perfect.

I don't wonder if <qs> looks to much like <ps>, which element I hope
to add next week. Probably not a good argument against.

How about 
- <sot>: speech or thought
- <qst>: quoted speech or thought
- <said>: said

I agree.
