[osis-core] osisWork regex problem

[Harry Plantinga]

Below is a discussion I have been having with a student
working on using the OSIS schema in XMetaL. We're trying
to figure out what to use for osisWork, a required attribute
of osisText.

I suggested authorID_bookID, but the regex apparently 
doesn't understand that value.  I don't have schema documentation
handy, so I can't debug the regex right now except by guessing, 
but shouldn't that be an acceptable value?

Here's the regex: ((\p{L}|\p{N}|_)*)((\.(\p{L}|\p{N}|_)+)*)?

Should it be (\p{L}|\p{N}|_)(\.(\p{L}|\p{N}|))*)  

I.e. is the + requiring at least one .xxx?

I tried this and it doesn't seem to work. My start tag is this:
<osisText osisWork="eckhart_sermons"> When I tried validating it, it
says: "Attribute 'osisWork': Value "eckhart_sermons" does not match
regular 
expression facet ..." (... being the regex)
