The poetry of Curl macros, or, poem markup for the web

Here is a snippet from an American poetry e-book on the web:

Stanza:

<div class="lg" ID="LG24">
<a name="L185"></a><div class="line" ID="L185">"In the name of all created,</div>
<a name="L186"></a><div class="line" ID="L186">Let us hear no more, my brothers;</div>
<a name="L187"></a><div class="line" ID="L187">Are we older than all others?</div>
<a name="L188"></a><div class="line" ID="L188">Are the planets in our way?"—</div>
<a name="L189"></a><div class="line" ID="L189">"Hark," said one; "I hear the River,</div>
<a name="L190"></a><div class="line" ID="L190">Calling always, night and day."—</div>
<a name="L191"></a><div class="line" ID="L191">"Forward, then! The lights are shining,"</div>
<a name="L192"></a><div class="line" ID="L192">Said the Watcher by the Way.</div>
</div>

and here is my Curl macros alternative markup:

{para
{ln L185, In the name of all created,}
{ln L186, Let us hear no more, my brothers;}
{ln L187, Are we older than all others?}
{ln L188, Are the planets in our way?"}
{ln L189, "Hark," said one; "I hear the River,}
{ln L190, Calling always, night and day."}
{ln L191, "Forward, then! The lights are shining,"}
{ln L192, Said the Watcher by the Way.}
}

even better:

{stanza 24 lines 185-192
In the name of all created,
Let us hear no more, my brothers;
Are we older than all others?
Are the planets in our way?"
"Hark," said one; "I hear the River,
Calling always, night and day."
"Forward, then! The lights are shining,"
Said the Watcher by the Way.
}

Now is the markup in the way of the content when you have to look over the output?
