Both produce sensible output, depending on the USFM offered. Both have problems. 

The problems are inherent in USFM - the lack of end marker, the lack of semantics. So you get all kinds of problems at chapter/chapter, verse/verse and verse/chapter transitions. And in poetry etc. 

In essence all tools we had and have work the same way - produce rough OSIS and then smooth it over by post processing.
