[sword-devel] OSIS markup best practice: sanity check

[DM Smith]

According to the OSIS manual, the work prefix (module name in front of the reference) is an optional element. When it is absent, it defaults to the current module.

JSword ignores the work prefix at this time. Not sure what SWORD does if the ESV module has KJV: as a prefix.
