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?
