Chris and I discussed this and came to the following conclusion  
(greatly abbreviated here):
1) osis2mod should accept all valid OSIS markup
and
2) transform it into something useful for SWORD that works for all the  
filters
in such a way
3) that the original can be reconstructed from the module

osis2mod in svn has been changed to create WoC markup that works  
across all filters.

This allows the Sermon on the Mount to have in the input OSIS the  
start WoC in Matt 5 and the end WoC in Matt 7. Osis2Mod makes the WoC  
markup valid for each verse, so that verses in isolation show the  
desired highlighting.

These beta modules need to be rebuilt with the new osis2mod and tested.
