Also about the language I am creating for, it is not yet in the sword project, but I have a local locale here on my computer that I have created.  The below output is what comes out when I have left a footnote in only one of the section titles.  I noticed that our Bible has 6 section titles with footnotes and that only the 3 that were at the beginning of chapters were getting flagged as invalid.  I was able to fix two by moving the footnote to the same word used in the first verse of the chapter.  So far I don't have any great solutions for what to do with this footnote from Genesis 40.

Like Peter said, there's nothing illegal about the particular hierarchy 
of elements you were using. It's important to read the errors your 
validator reports and confirm that what you guess is the problem is 
actually what the validator is reporting.

Above, xmllint is telling you that the osisID attribute has an invalid 
value: "!footnote". There's no problem with notes in titles, but 
"!footnote" is definitely not a permitted osisID. I would guess you're 
generating footnote osisIDs based on the osisID of the parent node and 
your titles have no osisID, so ""+"!footnote" results in this illegal 
osisID. Fix the script to generate, e.g., "Gen.40!footnote" and it 
should work fine.

There's nothing inherently problematic about combined verses, either. If 
you have trouble interpreting the error message, we can probably 
identify the problem if you post the error and the offending chunk of XML.

XML::LibXML appears to be the necessary library. In Ubuntu (& presumably 
many other distros) it's the libxml-libxml-perl package.
