and TRW is Textus Receptus Westcott (a particular editon of the Textus 
Receptus)

You get the naming system for sync since it is referenceType and 
constrained by the rather long regex in OSISScripture.

I understand (or think I do) how separation of naming system and 
references work in general. What I don't see is the payoff, other than 
orderliness, from the proposed regex? If we had a more comprehensive 
proposal, like I expect in the scholarly analysis module, that says a 
Westcott-Hort reference is: Westcott-Hort..followed-by-a-regex, and 
somewhere else there is a mapping of that reference to references in 
other works, so that knowing the name has some defined meaning, then I 
grant that separating in some standard way the name from the reference 
has meaning. Because by knowing the name (note Adam gets to name 
everything and in the boat of Ra (Egyptian religion) the deceased 
addresses everything by proper name) there is a consequence of knowing a 
range of valid references, how those references map to references, etc. 
In other words, it is no longer simply knowing where a nane stops and 
where the reference begins, but you also know something simply because 
you know the name. In the intstant case (IMO) all we know is one is the 
name and one is the reference, which without more, is just a curiousity 
and not useful information.

Steve: If you are online, care to chime in on this? I am ready to 
declare what I sent out earlier the 1.0. Not perfect but I think a very 
worthy effort.

I am running to the store to pickup all my food for the next week or so. 
Back online around 5 PM Eastern time.
