Silly question, but is this really only useful for poems? Would it not be useful at en.wp for other stuff too? I'll have to have a play and see what else it could be good for...
Please don't use it for something else, even if it seems somewhat useful for another purpose. It is _designed_ for poems, and it is supposed to mark up only poems. If you find another use, a new tag can be introduced that behaves in a very similar way.
Why? That seems needlessly complex. If one has need for the same functionality for multiple purposes, it doesn't strike me as a net win to have eight different syntaxes to do the same thing. Is there some specific reason that it should be divided by intent rather than purpose, thusly?
