DNT - Daniel Re: [osis-core] RE: OSIS (2)

[Patrick Durusau]

Chris,

Apologies for the late review of this issue.

Wondering if it is not possible to use the osisHeader to distinguish 
multiple versions of a work that shares a common name?

For example, we know that the LXX version of Genesis does not "really" 
match the version of Genesis reported by the Leningrad Codex. We refer 
to both of them as Genesis but distinguish them by the source.

Isn't that the same situation here?

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
