[sword-devel] OSIS example

[Patrick Zimmermann]

Hey,

this is great news. Thank you.

If the rendering produced by xiphos or bibletime is at least some sort of 
acceptable I'll change the module I'm developing at the moment to use the 
syntax. Mostly additions, removals and alternatives are affected.

Thanks again,
Patrick
