It could be x-section, but it'd be better to be absent or one of the 
allowable choices.

The title's type value is ignored by the SWORD engine. It is used by 
osis2mod when the title is before the first verse in a chapter. Here are 
those rules, taken from osis2mod:
                 // 2) Between the opening of a chapter and the first 
verse, the material is split between the introduction of the chapter
                 //    and the first verse of the chapter.
                 //    A <div> with a type of section will be taken as 
surrounding verses.
                 //    A <title> of type other than main, chapter or 
sub, will be taken as a title for the verse.
                 //    Once one of these conditions is met, the division 
between chapter introduction and pre-verse is set.
Everywhere else in osis2mod, it is ignored.

Currently, the SWORD engine uses subType="x-preverse" to know that the 
verse number should follow the heading.

There is code in there that is supposed to recognize everything between 
two markers as being pre-verse material, but it does not work. When that 
works, the subType="x-preverse" should not be needed. (It shouldn't be 
needed now as osis2mod knows when a title is pre-verse and can mark it 
as such.)

Hope this helps.
