Correct, but you'll eventually need to pass it through an import utility,
unless you write the module directly yourself from a custom crafted tool.
But, even then, you'll still need to declare the versification manually
when you create the module object (or accept the KJV default) so that any
index file is properly written out.

Pretty sure that OSIS headers have a field for it. Almost as sure that the
osis2mod tool ignores it along with just about everything else in the
header.
