These kind of things run in unison on libsword and jsword. Neither side
would accept a new versification without consensus that a new one is
needed. 

So, you need to bring evidence to the table. I have followed the thread
and find it very confusing as so many contributions (e.g. use of -z
flag) seem to only indicate a misunderstanding of some of our tools
rather than a more substantial problem. 

We would accept a new versification 

1) If there is substantial need for a new v11n for 
	- a single historical hugely important text
	- a group of texts following e.g. a particular translation 		
tradition (Like SYnodalProt for IBT texts, NRSV for UBS 		and
Wycliffe.

2) the data provided will allow a quality v11n. 

"need" is vaguely defined as  more than ~ 100 verses out of place or
substantial other problems. 100 verses amount to 0.3% are and unlikely
to cause significant upset to any user. In general I find that there
are either only a few or many hundreds out of line.

To move this discussion on please provide the reasons for the perceived
need. 

Also, in order to help to find those reasons - can you link to the OSIS
file rather than your modue?

Many thanks
