Todd,
I think there is still a problem that I don't think I made clear in my
last message.
I understand your comment about the default for the reference work. I
think we both agree that the default is defaulting the *refSystem*. So,
hence I believe your "Bible.KJV" should go in refSystem, and not the
identifier.
The osisRefWork allow 2 things to be specified:
1) the default refSystem for all osisRef's
2) the default target work for all osisRef's
My understanding is that <refSystem> is for the first function, and
<identifier type="OSIS"> is for the second.
In my Bible, I really don't want to specify a work for my references.
Actually, if I did, I would probably want to specify myself as the work.
ACTUALLY, I have no osisRef's in my doc, so it really doesn't matter!
:) But for the sake of clearing this up, it's still good to talk about it.
My thinking: If I was a sermon, and wanted to default my references to
KJV refSystem, but didn't want to imply any particular translation, I
would leave my osisRefWork work element as is-- specifying a refSystem,
and not an identifier.
What do you think?
