Nathan,

It is not necessary to have a splitID in "<q>I will announce,</q>"
because the element is not split.  The second quote begins in Ps.2.7 and
does not end until the end of Ps.2.9 and is split several times along
the way.

In Matt.13 there is a more interesting quote that is very long and spans
sections.
 
If there is no split there should be NO splitID attribute.  In Ps.1,
Ps.2, and Ps.3 EVERY verse is split into at least two lines, so it makes
it look like every <verse> element in the Bible will have a splitID.
There a number of examples in Matt.1 where verses are not split.

It is also possible to encode the same thing using milestones for quotes
rather than a <q> element when a quote spans a number of elements.

See http://www.contentframeworks.com/osis/OSISCandidateTextD.xml for a
version of the same text with quote milestones and verse milestones in
Ps.1, Ps.2, and Ps.3.  As well as milestones for the grouped verses in
Matt.1.

There is a SIMPLE style sheet that will render the XML file into HTML if
you have the right browser version.  This is a 60 minute effort style
sheet, and does not does NOT compute the verse marker text for "2-6a",
"6b-11" and "12-16" in Matt.1.
