[osis-editors] Additional Questions & Comments

[Jim Schaad]

Gentlemen,

1.  Some type of acknowledgement would be nice.  At this point I am not
sure if the 4 messages I have sent to date are disappear in the ether or
actually going someplace constructive.

2.  Section 11:  In the first bullet item it says that you must use a
single method in an entire text.  Does this mean an osisText or an osis
document?  Does this mean that one needs to go back and change all verse
elements to verse milestones the first time you insert a single verse
milestone?  Just double checking.

3.  Section 11:  Does it make sense to be able to put both an eID and an
sID on the same element?  i.e.  <verse osisID="Matt.5.2" sID="Matt.5.2"
eID="Matt.5.1/>?  Is this considered legal?

4.  Section 12.6:  Title section header lists genealogies, but the
content does not have any references to genealogies.

5.  Section 13.12: I would suggest changing "person" to "human".  As
things stand I don't know the definition of a human.  Is Frodo a person
or a nonhuman.  The two are not mutually exclusive.  (Yes I know there
is a big argument about the question of Jesus and his humanity, but I
think that can be ignored for this purpose, although one might be able
to argue that all references to Jesus and to The Holy Spirit in John
should be marked with divineName as they are all part of the Deity.
Personally I fall into the Arian camp, but that is neither here nor
there.)

6.  Section 15.1:  contains an example of a paragraph with an
osisRef="Matt.1.1 Matt.1.2 Matt.1.3", but this does not seem to be of
reality.  Based on the text I assume that searches are limited to the
scope of the base reference.  So Gen.1.1@s[Adam] will fail to resolve,
while Gen.1@s[Adam] would resolve.

7.  Section 15.1 & Section 22.3:  Are the parameters placed in (), [] or
{}?  Or any of the above as long as they match.  The rules in 15.1 and
the examples in 22.3 don't agree.

8.  Section 6:  I believe there is a problem with canonical and the div
object.  This object has a default value of false rather than true or
inherit.  This means that I must set it to be true on all div objects
(such as books) that contain canonical text.
