Asterisks

* * *

Today I had to mark up several Latin poems which used the device above -- three asterisks, even placed as an asterism -- to mark breaks between thematic units.

How to mark a set of asterisks, a typographical asterism, in TEI XML? A TEI-L discussion from 2007 helped, and I decided to use the space element ("indicates the location of a significant space in the copy text").
