Patrick,

Where did the enumerated values for osisSubjects come from?

This list seems to have a narrow set of subject sets.

This seems to be a limited set that would be better handled through the
use of a prefix like and osisID/osisRef.  Where the work is a document
that defines the set of subjects.  This is a scalable solution.

I would suggest:
<osisText>	
	<header>
		<work osisWork="xyz">	
			...
			<subject>atla:Subject</subject>
			...
		</work>
		<work osisWork="atla">	
			...
		</work>
	</header>
	...
</osisText>

This would also make the schema less brittle and allow for broader use.
