Output is wrapped in a <div class="poem">, so you can do global styling of
poems
per-wiki.
Additionallly you can add other allowed HTML attributes on the <poem> tag just
as you would for a <div> or <pre>, such as setting one-off custom styles or
additional CSS class names.
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.
