In fact, now that I think about it, you might also created a div for chapter "endnotes" (but I'm not sure what the real name for this is).
Still need a better name than "endnotes"... maybe "commentary"?

And I applied thinkjuice (caffeine suspensions) to the problem of epigrams (and pullquotes, too) and realized that blockquotes were the answer. They can contain paragraphs, and CSS will let you do anything that you can do to divs.

And they're both quotes, right?

Should work for "commentaries" as well.

I'm avoiding divs inside divs wherever I can, as it makes programming the macro-scripts easier. Also, I think it makes sense to keep 'em as big as possible, basically pieces of the book. (The only exception I have, is Chapters/Prologues/Epilogues/Appendices inside Parts.)

ps: I almost went with qs, but they're supposed to be short. Maybe for pullquotes...
