[osis-core] Reference encoding

[Patrick Durusau]

Guys,

> In OSIS documents that are not Bibles, it is a common to see a quote 
> of scripture text followed by the reference.
>
> Does it make sense to add an optional osisRef attribute to <q> and 
> <milestoneStart> to accommodate this frequent issue?

> Example: <q osisRef="Matt.20.28">The Son of Man did not come to be 
> served, but to serve . . . </q>
>
> rather than <q>The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve 
> . . .<reference osisRef="Matt.20.28">Matthew 20:28</reference></q> (Todd)
>
Assumption: The string "Matthew 20:28" actually appears inline in the 
text. That should be marked as an osisRef.

The <q> element should use an osisID to indicate "what" text is being 
quoted.
