It is your choice.  Sword will parse all of them just fine, and if you
run into a situation where it is parsing incorrectly let us know and so
we can fix it.

When you right click a verse link in BibleCS, the verses get parsed into
a list and you are shown that list in a little window.  As you highlight
the verses in the verse list window, it will show them below.  Diatheke
will operate similarly when you click a verse link, but it actually
retrieves & returns all the verses referenced.  I can't speak accurately
about BibleTime or GnomeSword since I'm not as familiar with them as I
should be.

It's really your option, based on how much work you want to do or what
behavior your desire in the module.  Maybe at a later time we will add
the option to jump to the first verse in a reference by left clicking,
in which case the first version would be best.  But currently I would
say the last version works best in BibleCS since it means all the
references in a block can be viewed in a single list box.
