If the sID and eID do not match (but should) then this is an error in
the XML document.  It's likely that osis2mod is handling them
correctly, it just looks like it's incorrect because the OSIS file is,
itself, wrong.  This is the type of "incorrect" that is beyond what an
XML Schema validation step is capable of detecting.
