Yes, the error is about nesting error. I will need to fix this using
milestone element instead of container element.

the text with OSIS tagging is available at
http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/developer/bible/idkjv-20090421.zip
It is PD so no copyright :)

Yes, this is the problem

Yes, I think the Wiki need to be updated for recommended/best practice
for tagging OSIS text/bible.

I try to summarize here, so if something is not correct, please correct it.

Best Practice / recommendation for tagging OSIS text/bible
- For Chapter, use milestone element instead of container element
- For Verse, use milestone element instead of container element
- For Paragraph, use container element
- For Lemma/Strongs/Morph, use  ??? (container element)
- For Poems <lb>, use ??? (container element)
- anything else ?

note: for the wiki, if you need reference implementation for best
practice, please fell free to use the following project idkjv (PD)
available at
http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/developer/index.html#idkjv

note: the latest update idkjv-20090421.zip still contains the above
nesting error, I still need to update it using the recommended chapter
and verse milestone to avoid nesting error.

note: is the wiki account is open for public (me) or only for
crosswire staff ? because I would like to update it as above best
practice, in case someone else encounter the same error nesting
paragraph
