[Troy A. Griffitts]

Just a few quick notes.

s/Crosswire/CrossWire/

I am still in favour of:

OSISWorkType '.' Language '.' Name ('.' PublisherOrAuthor ('.' Date ( 
'.' PublisherExtension )* )? )?

I think if we are programmatically declining the ID from order of 
specificality to generality from right to left, the above order makes 
more sense.

e.g.

Bible.en.CEV.CrossWire.2004.b
If the book with the exact above ID does not exist, I would feel 
confident trimming from right to left to find a suitable match.

Debatable in my mind: transposing [date] and [publisher].

OSISWorkType
+GeneralBook (e.g. Josephus, That Hideous Strength, etc.)

    -Troy.
