[sword-devel] OSIS example

[Daniel Owens]

Greg,

Take a look at the OSIS file and the compiled module at 
https://sites.google.com/site/danielowensstuff/Home/test.zip?attredirects=0&d=1. 


Just to be sure that I was not making an outlandish claim, I deleted 
type="psalm" canonical="true" from the title element, compiled the 
module, and BibleTime showed the title. I added them back in and 
compiled again, and the title disappeared.
