First, thanks to all of you who responded - especially David. I 
apologise for cross-posting, but it doesn't seem appropriate to post as 
a bug at the moment.

I've been a while answering because I've been looking for an xml 
validation tool that gives the kind of output that you posted. Notepad++ 
looks great, but is Windows only. I've tried Kate - it has an xml 
validation plugin that uses libxml for validation. Kate does not see 
items such as '\vp 36) \vp*' as a problem. There is no suggestion in the 
usfm manual that suggests that the construct is not valid either. 
However, I replaced all instances of ') \' with ' \' and ran 
usfm2osis.py on the file. I had also matched the unmatched '/it' tag 
mentioned earlier. usfm2osis.py showed no syntax errors. Using osis2mod 
on the generated osis file gives the same problems as before.

All the problems seem to be where I've used the '\vp' tag. I've attached 
part of the osis file for the beginning of 1Ki:3 The resulting module 
shows nothing before verse 2. The same process using usfm2osis.pl 
renders this and other chapters OK. I suspect that there is a problem in 
the way in which the python utility handles the '\vp' tags. I made quite 
heavy use of them in this book. Any suggestion on my next stage? For 
now, I'm back to using the perl tool.

God bless, Barry.

<verse osisID="1Kgs.3.36 " sID="1Kgs.3.36 "/>And the wisdom of Solomon abounded exceedingly beyond the wisdom of all the ancients, and beyond all the wise men of Egypt: and he took the daughter of Pharao, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the Lord first, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. In seven years he made and finished <transChange type="added">them</transChange> .</p>
<p>
And Solomon had seventy thousand bearers of burdens, and eight thousand hewers of stone in the mountain: and Solomon made the sea, and the bases, and the great lavers, and the pillars, and the fountain of the court, and the brazen sea— <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: Probably some hiatus in the text.</reference></note> and he built the citadel as a defence above it, he made a breach in the wall of the city of David: thus the daughter of Pharao went up out of the city of David to her house which he built for her. Then he built the citadel: and Solomon offered up three whole-burnt-offerings in the year, and peace-offerings on the altar which he built to the Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord, and finished the house. And these are the chief persons who presided over the works of Solomon; three thousand and six hundred masters of the people that wrought the works. And he burit Assur, and Magdo, and Gazer, and upper Baethoron, and Ballath: only after he had built the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about, afterwards he built these cities.</p>
<p>
And when David was yet living, he charged Solomon, saying, Behold, there is with thee Semei the son of Gera, of the seed of <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> Jemini.</reference></note> Benjamin out of Chebron: he cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went into the camp; and he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> if he shall be slain.</reference></note> He shall not be slain with the sword. But now do not thou hold him guiltless, for thou art a man of understanding, and thou wilt know what thou shalt do to him, and thou shalt bring down his <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> hoary head.</reference></note> grey hairs with blood to <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> Hades.</reference></note> the grave. <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: The verses below numbered 36) to 46) appear between verses one and two in Brenton.</reference></note>
<lb/> And the king called Semei, and said to him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and thou shalt not go out thence any whither.
<lb/> And it shall come to pass in the day <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> of thy going forth.</reference></note> that thou shalt go forth and cross over the brook Kedron, <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> knowing thou shalt know.</reference></note> know assuredly that thou shalt certainly die: thy blood shall be upon thine head. And the king caused him to swear in that day.
<lb/> And Semei said to the king, Good <transChange type="added">is</transChange> the word that thou hast spoken, my lord O king: thus will thy servant do. And Semei dwelt in Jerusalem three years.
<lb/> And it came to pass after the three years, that two servants of Semei ran away to Anchus son of Maacha king of Geth: and it was told Semei, saying, Behold, thy servants <transChange type="added">are</transChange> in Geth.
<lb/> And Semei rose up, and saddled his ass, and went to Geth to Anchus to seek out his servants: and Semei went, and brought his servants out of Geth.
<lb/> And it was told Solomon, saying, Semei is gone out of Jerusalem to Geth, and has brought back his servants.
<lb/> And the king sent and called Semei, and said to him, Did I not adjure thee by the Lord, and testify to thee, saying, In whatsoever day thou shalt go out of Jerusalem, and go to the right or left, know certainly that thou shalt assuredly die?
<lb/> And why hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment which I commanded <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> against thee.</reference></note> thee?
<lb/> And the king said to Semei, Thou knowest all thy mischief which thy heart knows, which thou didst to David my father: and the Lord has recompensed thy mischief on thine <transChange type="added">own</transChange> head.
<lb/> And king Solomon <transChange type="added">is</transChange> blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever.
<lb/> And Solomon commanded Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he went forth and slew him.
<lb/>And king Solomon was very prudent and wise: and Juda and Israel <transChange type="added">were</transChange> very many, as the sand which is by the sea for multitude, eating, and drinking, and rejoicing: and Solomon was chief in all the kingdoms, and they brought gifts, and served Solomon all the days of his life. And Solomon began to open the domains of Libanus, and he built Thermae in the wilderness. And this was the <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> dinner.</reference></note> daily provision of Solomon, thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of ground meal, ten choice calves, and twenty oxen from the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides stags, and does, and choice fed birds. For he ruled in all the country on this side the river, from Raphi unto Gaza, over all the kings <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> beyond.</reference></note> on this side the river: and he was at peace on all sides round about; and Juda and Israel dwelt <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> trusting in confidence. See</reference> <rdg type="alternate">Heb.</rdg></note> safely, every one under his vine and under his fig tree, eating and drinand feasting, from Dan even to Bersabee, all the days of Solomon.
<lb/>And these <transChange type="added">were</transChange> the princes of Solomon; Azariu son of Sadoc the priest, and Orniu son of Nathan chief of the officers, and he <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Gr.</hi> ran.</reference></note> went to his house; and Suba the scribe, and Basa son of Achithalam recorder, and Abi son of Joab commander-in-chief, and Achire son of Edrai <transChange type="added">was</transChange> over the <note placement="foot"><reference type="annotateRef">3.1: <hi type="italic">Or.</hi> tributes.</reference></note> levies, and Banaeas son of Jodae over the household and over the brickwork, and Cachur the son of Nathan <transChange type="added">was</transChange> counsellor.
<lb/>And Solomon had forty thousand brood mares for his chariots, and twelve thousand horses. And he reigned over all the kings from the river and to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt: so Solomon the son of David reigned over Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.<verse eID="1Kgs.3.36 "/>
