I know I'm gonna have to deal with ALL KINDS of markup to this standard,
when I write code to handle OSIS, so I shouldn't complain about this,
but... this isn't really the preferred way to markup osisIDs is it?
old excerpt from Todd's example:
<lineGroup> <line>
<verse osisID="Matt.13.14" segID="Matt.13.14@b" prev="Matt.13.14@a"
next="Matt.13.14@c">This people will listen and listen, but not
understand;</verse>
</line>
<line>
<verse osisID="Matt.13.14" segID="Matt.13.14@c"
prev="Matt.13.14@b">they will look and look, but not see,</verse>
</line>
<line>
<verse osisID="Matt.13.15" segID="Matt.13.15@a"
next="Matt.13.15@b">because their minds are dull,</verse>
</line>
...
</lineGroup>
maybe I'm thinking of things differently from the rest, but doesn't it
seem extraordinarily difficult to display 'Matt.13.14'?
Shouldn't the <lineGroup> and <line> be considered 'in' Matt.13.14? It
sure seems to make more sense to put the <lineGroup> inside the <verse>
tag, and will make my life a while lot easier to process.
