[sword-devel] Another query on OSIS format - can a section heading be used within a verse?

[johnduffy at cgcf.net]

The osis validates fine when there are section headings in the middle of
verses, as suggested below.  And there are no errors reported when creating
a Sword module.

However, when converted into a Sword module, the section heading does not
display correctly in these cases, while it does in all other cases.  

In Bible Desktop and BibleCS the heading is displayed as a heading and the
verse text as normal verse text, but both insert the heading and the
remaining text of the verse into the following verse.  That is, instead of
the section heading and second part of the verse text that follows it both
remaining within their correct verse number (e.g. Acts 8:1), the heading and
second part of the verse are inserted into the next verse (Acts 8:2).  In
Acts 8, v1 is shorter and v2 is longer.  

On the other hand, Xiphos does not change the verse numbering as above.
However, the second part of the verse (Acts 8:1) is displayed in the same
format as a header line also.

This occurs 94 times in An Bíobla Naofa, and amounts to 3.6% of all headings
(a few level 3 but the vast majority are level 1).

Should I live with it and not do anything about it?  
Or should I edit the 94 occurrences and move the second part of the verse
into the following verse while inserting the original verse numbering in
parenthesis - either in a modified osis file (for module creation only) or
in the module?
Or wait for an update to Sword?

There should be no problem.
