[osis-core] General Defaulting Mechanism

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings!

We are discussing a more generalized defaulting mechanism than we have 
at present, such as the current work and ref defaults.

Something like:

<setDefault path="//GI@AttributeName" prefix="osisWork">

Note that the XPath expression shown is the only one that is valid at 
present.

Further note that the value of prefix must be found on a work element in 
the current document as the value of osisWork attribute.

This will allow all the current defaulting plus defaulting on lemmas, 
morphology, etc., and any other that comes up in the future without 
further intervention on our part.

Current mechanisms will persist but if both apply, the newer mechanism 
takes precedence.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
