[osis-core] Canonical Reference Scheme

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings,

Harry has suggested the NRSVA as the canonical reference standard, which 
works for the Apocrypha and NT but less well for the OT.

Reasoning: The Hebrew OT versification differs in the Psalms and if we 
use the BHS as the canonical reference for OT, a head (for a Psalm for 
example) can point to the appropriate verse in the OT.

Downside is that references in the Psalms (elsewhere?) will be 
unfamiliar to users, leading to data entry error.

At this point I am willing to go with the NRSVA and deal with the 
mapping separately. (Advantage is it get us out the door and fixing 
problems. I don't think this will preclude a more robust solution in the 
near term.)

Comments, suggestions?

Note that Harry is about to go offline so speak up quickly!

Patrick
