Chris,
In the example, you are giving KJV as the work. Are we still of the  
mindset that a reference without the work or with a work of Bible  
refers to verse?

In the light of versification and that many biblical references refer  
to specific works that might not be an installed module, let alone a  
module at all, what should the behavior be? For example a German  
commentary refers to a verse in Malachi that is not in the KJV v11n?  
Should we use a different variant of work that includes the  
versification:
Bible.Vul.xxx:ref
That way, if the xxx module is not installed, we can grab another  
Bible with the Vul versification.

In Christ,
