[osis-core] Identification of deutero-canonical material

[Todd Tillinghast]

Chris and Patrick,

Should the "editons" attribute be a list?

It is possible for there to be more than one kind of edition.  For
example the CEV would have the deuterocanonical edition related things
but there are also 5 edition variations that apply to both the
"protestant"? and "deuterocanonical" editions.  There are wide and
narrow edition differences AND there are there are 5 different note
variation editions.

For poetry in a wide edition they could use <lb edition="wide"/> and
later in the same <l> use <lb edition="narrow"/>.

For notes they could indicate <note edition="deuterocanonical global"
type="crossReference"> for notes that are deutercanonical AND only in
the global edition.

It would be handy to be able to use this "edition" mechanism for all of
these purposes.  Do you think this is outside of the purpose of this
attribute?

Todd
