[sword-devel] How to represent special characters in osisID attributes in a gen book

[Greg Hellings]

I thought osisID attributes were very strictly defined with certain
reference schemes and abbreviations?  I get fuzzy on the osisID topic
but I thought it was an enumerated list of values that were pretty
much like matt.1.1, matt.1.2, etc? You're probably looking for a title
attribute/element (not sure which it is in OSIS).
