[osis-core] Alpha attached, needs two regexes

[Patrick Durusau]

Todd,

Sorry I left this one for before dinner, may not be very hungry by then. ;-)

Actually I don't think modifying one of the current regexes will meet 
Steve's requirements. Let me hack on it for a while and I will see if I 
can get something fairly close. Big parts are not a problem but allowing 
cascading opt out may look harder than it actually is.

Will keep you posted. (BTW, time is one of the most difficult parts of 
HyTime.)
