I have the 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.1 schemas.
Was in the 1.1 and 1.1.1 versions. It was removed from 1.5 and has not 
been re-introduced.

It was a global attribute.

The example of splitting is in the manual by using osisIDs on a verse 
tag, where a verse is split into two parts.
Perhaps osisID should be used here as well.
<w osisID="tr:1!a" ...>one having had</w><w ...>complete</w><w 
osisID="tr:1!b"... >understanding</w>
The workID should be the module from which the words came. It can be 
defaulted with workPrefix so that it does not need to show up here:
<w osisID="1!a" ...>one having had</w><w ...>complete</w><w 
osisID="1!b"... >understanding</w>
(I'd have to look at the regex to see if osisIDs can begin with a number.)

To preserve it, I have split it into type and subType. I can use some 
other mechanism as well. These can be put back together in a lossless 
fashion. I can also do this just prior to creating the module. So that 
existing code can continue to work as is.
