Xiphos has a feature, "commentary by chapter," so that whole commentary
chapters are displayed along with whole Bible chapters, and then the
verse is tracked visually in the commentary pane, but in a different
manner from the Bible pane (i.e. current verse always aligned to top,
plus a preceding horizontal rule).  It's a UI issue IMO, not an engine
issue.  If you explicitly list the verse range covered in your markup,
then I imagine you might get the effect you want in other UIs.

Up to this time, Xiphos' commentary by chapter has not been default, and
I wonder if I should make it so in the future.
