The downside of this is that you may find empty verses (as David has found).  Another downside is that we allow the same content to be versified in different ways IN THE SAME V11N depending on how the edition versifies it-- this makes it very hard to build a map file to show a true parallel display in the future.  The upside is that we can show most LXX editions the way they were published, and that outweighed the downsides.  If we ever actually improve our mapping data to show, among others, LXX next to Masoretic versification, we can consider breaking out the LXX into multiple v11ns or some other solution (v11n exceptions in the .conf file has been a consideration), but this hasn't seen anyone really step up to do all this mapling data work-- except for the hard work from Костя for initial design and implementation of v11n mappings support and a few initial mappings.
