Follow ThML syntax. http://www.ccel.org/ThML/scripref.htm

Sword may not handle everything currently, but we will work towards that 
in time.  Maybe I'm missing your point, but I don't see why you want to 
separate the 'a' out from the rest of the reference.  Sword won't have any 
problem with it and will just take you to Heb 1:1.

If you want to "link" to a passage other than what is between the scripRef 
tags, just include a passage attribute with the reference.  If you want a 
specific version, use a version attribute.  Some frontends may handle 
these, others may not, but this is how you should make modules.
