As an experiment I tried reverting my OSIS generator to just producing
lemma="strong:###" and morph="robinson:xxxx" (with appropriate values
plugged in for ### and xxxx), and then replaced "strong:###" with "
lemma.strong:###". The lemma.* qualifier doesn't seem to bother BibleTime:
everything displays correctly. I will see if maybe what can follow the
"lemma." is somehow hard-coded in BT. But I suspect even more strongly that
I am screwing up somewhere.

What should the <header> look like, for introducing an extra (in this case
dummy) lexicon? I guess I need to declare a workID, to follow the "lemma."
in the <w> tag, even if there is no actual work being cross referenced. I
tried something like:

<header>
   ...
    <work osisWork="strong">
      <refSystem>Dict.Strongs</refSystem>
    </work>
    <work osisWork="robinson">
      <refSystem>Dict.Robinson</refSystem>
    </work>
    <work osisWork="DUMMY">
    </work>
</header>

Matched with:

<w lemma="lemma.strong:G1722 lemma.DUMMY:ἐν" morph="robinson:PREP">ἐν</w>

But that didn't work. The entry from Strong shows, as does the entry from
Robinson, but not the extra lemma. Does it at least look like it should have
worked?
