[osis-core] Getting elements

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings,

Todd's last open issue was:

>3) No one has addressed the concerns raised related to creating
>expressions that "get" elements based on a identifier in an osisID.  One
>option would be to put ( and ) around each identifier.  (Or [ and ] but
>we already use that for grain.)  Ex: <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]"> and <div osisID="[Matt.1]">.  This works for me
>if it works for everyone else.  Thoughts?

Note that grain does not appear in the osisID so what you are asking is 
how to match both work and osisID? If the work is defaulted, you simply 
have the bare osisID for the reference system, which in the case of 
Bibles would be Matt.1.1 (or something similar). Not sure of the 
significance of the square brackets in your example. Can you explain a 
little bit more?

Patrick
