Try this:
 
  <lg>
    <l>..</l>
    <l>..</l>
    <milestone unit=squot>
    <l>..</l>
    <l>..</l>
    <milestone unit=equot>
    <l>..</l>
  </lg>
 
If you redefine the structure of <lg>, you will still run into
problems if a quotation (for example) begins in the _middle_ of a
line.  For a detailed discussion, see Chapter 31, "Multiple
Hierarchies," in the TEI P3 guidelines.
