[osis-core] Reference Syntax Proposal

[Todd Tillinghast]

Troy,

Would what you suggested about including BOTH the identifier from the
standard reference system AS WELL AS an identifier from a "work"
specific reference system look like the following?

<div osisID="Matt.1">
     <div>
         <title>The Ancestors of Jesus Christ</title>
         <p><verse osisID="Matt.1.1">This is the list of the ancestors
of Jesus Christ, a descendant of David, who was a descendant of
Abraham.</verseEnd>
         </p>
         <p><verse osisID="Matt.1.2 Matt.1.3 Matt.1.4 Matt.1.5 Matt.1.6
Bible.TEV:Matt.1.6.a"><title>Matthew 1:2-6a</title>From Abraham to King
David, the 
following
ancestors are listed: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah and his brothers;
then Perez and Zerah (their mother was Tamar), Hezron, Ram, Amminadab,
Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz (his mother was Rahab), Obed (his mother was
Ruth), Jesse, and King David.</verse>
         </p>
         <p><verse osisID="Matt.1.6 Matt.1.7 Matt.1.8 Matt.1.9 Matt.1.10
Matt.1.11 Bible.TEV:Matt.1.6.b"><title>Matthew 1:6b-11</title>David to
the time 
when the people of Israel were taken into exile
in Babylon, the following ancestors are listed: David, Solomon (his
mother was the woman who had been Uriah's wife), Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa,
Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon,
Josiah, and Jehoiachin and his brothers.</verse>
         </p>
     <div>.... The rest of chapter one...</div>
</div>

This is appealing because it does not use extended identifiers while
providing a mechanism to include as a work specific reference system as
needed!
