[Todd Tillinghast]

Troy,

It seems there are two styles to encode Book/Chapter/Verse hierarchy and
Book/Chapter/Div/Paragraph/Verse.

The only large snare I see with encoding purely as Book/Chapter/Verse
for any Bible other than the KJV is that anywhere there is poetry the
lineGroup/line structures will likely be trouble.

Have you devised a strategy to encode those beasts?

Todd
