The PDF usfm spec is at: 
http://paratext.org/system/files/usfmReference2_4.pdf   I think CHM is 
only of use in Microsoft Windows - am I right?

I've been following the comments about usfm2osis.py.  I agree that more 
information on errors would help a lot.  The current error I'm getting is:
Validating XML...
XML Validation error: Element 
'{http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace}verse', attribute 
'osisID': [facet 'pattern'] The value '1Kgs.3.36)' is not accepted by 
the pattern 
'(((\p{L}|\p{N}|_)+)((\.(\p{L}|\p{N}|_)+)*)?:)?((\p{L}|\p{N}|_|(\\[^\s]))+)((\.(\p{L}|\p{N}|_|(\\[^\s]))+)*)?(!((\p{L}|\p{N}|_|(\\[^\s]))+)((\.(\p{L}|\p{N}|_|(\\[^\s]))+)*)?)?'.
Done!

Apart from the fact that the error is somewhere in the 1 Kings usfm 
file, I get no help at all.  '1Kgs.3.36)' appears several time in the 
generated osis file, but I get no clues at all from reading it. The 
suggestion of outputting a bit of additional information such as line 
numbers etc. in error messages, would be greatly valued.

Regards,        Barry.
