I would tend to say that we've done it correctly as is. The following
behaviour that Harry mentions is how I've marked up verse lists.

I think this is best. If you want them all to be in a contiguous list
then I would put them in something like <list type="verselist"></list>
My reasoning is that default behaviour for a reference link is typically
to jump to the location. In your proposed discontiguous link, I cannot
do this.
If your software can do something like you suggest: open a new window
and show all verses in a verselist, then I think my proposal of
surrounding all of list references in a <list> element will give both of
us what we want.
Just my thoughts.
