[osis-core] Canonical best practice

[Todd Tillinghast]

I would like to clarify what is the best practice for the "canonical"
attribute.

Should it be:
<osisText osisIDWork="x">
<header>
	<work osisWork="x" type="content" subType="Bible"/>
</header>
<div type="introduction" canonical="false">
	...
</div>
<div type="bookGroup">
	<div type="book" canonical="true" osisID="Gen">
		<div type="introduction" canonical="false">
		</div>
		<div type="section">
			<p>
				<verse sID="Gen.1.1"
osisID="Gen.1.1"/>...<verse eID="Gen.1.1"/>
				<verse sID="Gen.1.1"
osisID="Gen.1.1"/>...<verse eID="Gen.1.1"/>
			</p>
		</div>
	</div>
	<div type="book" canonical="true">
		<div type="introduction" canonical="false"
osisID="Exod">
		</div>
		<div type="section">
			<p>
				<verse sID="Exod.1.1"
osisID="Exod.1.1"/>...<verse eID="Exod.1.1"/>
				<verse sID="Exod.1.1"
osisID="Exod.1.1"/>...<verse eID="Exod.1.1"/>
			</p>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>
</osisText>
</osis>


OR should there be <osisText canonical="true"> and only
canonical="false" only on <div type="introduction" canonical="false">
and canonical="true" no where else?

OR should we default canonical="true" based on PROSE and only put
canonical="false" on <div type="introduction" canonical="false">?
