[osis-core] osis_0108.3 Making milestone OSISID and OSISIDREF match. OPTION E!

Todd,

With a big <snip> to cut to the chase (so to speak) ;-)

Just got up from a much needed nap but note that this solution takes us 
out of the verseStart as milestone and to a verseStart as container 
(albeit of milestones). Certainly could be done that way, but what is 
the problem with:

<verseStart OSISID="Bible.TEV..Gen.20.17-18" CommonStart="Gen.17.17" CommonEnd="Gen.17.18"/>Because of what had

where CommonStart and CommonEnd are validated against ReferenceType? If 
you make them IDs (assuming on a different element as you suggest) 
doesn't that get you back into the situation where "more than one 
element can claim that as a legitimate ID?" type problem?

Yes, but remember all IDs are unique, document wide.

><verseStart OSISID="Bible.TEV..Gen.20.17-18"><altID
>OSISID="Bible.OSIS..Gen.17/><altID

>OSISIDREF="Bible.TEV..Gen.20.17-18"/>

BTW, where is the extra .. coming from? Bible.OSIS..Gen.17 (as opposed 
to Bible.OSIS.Gen.17), two periods between OSIS and Gen as opposed to one?
