In that bug report:

    /While OSIS allows for more than one reference in an osisRef, SWORD
    does not handle the linking for it, but only the first listed./

I've noticed this before, and been annoyed by it.  When there is a long
xref list, I consider it vastly preferable that the entire set be one
refList, as returned by getEntryAttributes.  I have a module containing
this as a single xref:

Exod 15:2; 17:16; Pss 68:5, 19; 77:12; 89:9; 94:7, 12; 102:19; 104:35;
105:45; 106:1, 48; 111:1; 112:1; 113:1, 9; 115:17, 18; 116:19; 117:2;
118:5, 14, 17-19; 122:4; 130:3; 135:1, 3, 4, 21; 146:1, 10; 147:1, 20;
148:1, 14; 149:1, 9; 150:1, 6; Isa 12:2; 26:4; 38:11

(NETnote, Song 8:6#24.)

I really don't want every single item in that nightmare individually
clickable; I want the whole thing as one unit, shipped off to a verse
list UI element of some kind (Xiphos does it in the sidebar), where I
can peruse the individual items as I wish.

Why doesn't Sword allow this in the OSIS case?
