This is correct. JSword does not handle OSIS workIDs at all.

The OSIS rule is that without a workID a reference is self referential.

What JSword needs is another parser for references that parses an osisRef.

The current parser is appropriate for user input an references that are not known to be OSIS references.

I can add a note to the wiki that JSword has trouble with such references, if you think that is appropriate.

And I think it would be great if Jira, Forums, Wiki, ... on the CrossWire server had a single registration system.
