[sword-devel] milestone element, osisRef attribute

[Horst Sclemmer]

Hi all,

It's good to see this discussion going on.
I try to briefly explain the need for having the osisRef in a milestone.
As many people are able to read Russian, most translations for languages 
in the former Soviet Union use the SynadalProt versification. So, people 
comparing their translation with Russian scriptures won't be confused.
On the other hand most of the (former Soviet Union) scriptures don't 
follow the versification in every detail.
A very common difference is the problem you see in the Uighur Cyrillic 
with Romans 14 and 16.
As Peter already mentioned, there is an anomalie with the last three 
verses of Romans 14 and 16. Most western translations (KJV) follow 
manuscripts that have these verses in Romans 16:25-27, whereas 
SynodalProt has them in Romans 14:24-26.
Romans 16:25-27 seems to be the better place to have them, so most 
Central Asian translations decided, not to follow the SynodalProt 
versification here.

The milestone types "x-vsys-..." and annotateRef 
annotateTypes="x-vsys-..." are used to reference these moved verses to 
the right verses.
See 
https://github.com/JohnAustinDev/osis-converters/blob/master/scripts/bible/osis2sourceVerseSystem.xsl
for all the details and possible types.
These milestone and annotateRef types are already used in a lot of OSIS 
files for scriptures in the IBT repository 
(http://ibt.org.ru/ftpmirror/pub/).

I can remove the parts that are currently not supported by the OSIS schema.
But as this is a general solution to deal with translations that vary 
from their versification, I would suggest to take the effort to adjust 
the OSIS schema and add the osisRef attribute to the milestone element.

Kind regards

Horst
