Patrick,
I did not say that this was 'contrary to allowing them to encode their
Bible'. I said that it was 'against the OSIS 1.0 goal of PROVIDING
mechanisms' for them to encode their Bible.
However, this is the worst case that I said I could accept for now.
So, if this is indeed the will of the group, I will use the 'punt'
mechanism of 'milestone' and 'x-' for this regular occurrence in my Bibles.
