The problem with spaces in an osisRef is that a space is defined as the 
separator between one reference and another.
E.g. osisRef="Rom.1.1 Rom.2.1-Rom.3.1"

A reference does not need to be singular. It can be a single reference, 
a range or a list of these.

JSword splits on space as indicated in the OSIS spec. I don't know why 
SWORD works. It shouldn't.
