To my mind, the simpler the better. I would not actually use the OSIS markup for name. There is a potential compatibility problem with different software. I think it would be best if one were to simply right-click on a word, and the user would see what, if any, resources were available for it. Such would be a more generalized solution.<br>

For what it is worth.<br>

Great News!<br>
God created you, owns you and gave you commands to obey.<br>
You have disobeyed God - as your conscience very well attests to you.<br>
God's holiness and justice compel Him to punish you in Hell.<br>
Jesus Christ became Man, was crucified, buried and rose from the dead<br>
as a substitute for all who trust in Him, redeeming them from Hell.<br>
If you repent (turn from your sin) and believe (trust) in Jesus Christ,<br>
you will go to Heaven. Otherwise you will go to Hell.<br>
Warning! Good works are a result, not cause, of saving trust.<br>

OSIS offers to mark these up. There are databases and there are public domain texts on which one can experiment.<br>
<br>
What functionality would be a reasonable expectation associated with a marked up name? Potentially different presentation style, a dictionary link maybe? Something else?<br>
