[osis-core] Insertion of "identifiers" into text.

[Patrick Durusau]

Todd,

I will put this on the list but I think you need to distinguish between 
an anchor (embedded in the text) and a pointer, which may or may not 
require an anchor in the text. Depending upon the addressing that I use, 
groves for example, I may not need or even care whether there are 
anchors in the text.

Hope you are having a great day!
