[sword-devel] Not user-friendly behavior in commentaries (should be continuous)

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Yes, linking is not working with annotateRef.  Thanks for the text.  If 
you wouldn't mind rebuilding the module and changing one entry to an 
osisID verse list and then testing again, it would really help finalize 
what exactly the problem is.  If osisID verse lists do link correctly, 
then we simply need to apply the same logic to annotateRef.
