[osis-core] Substitute for regex

[Todd Tillinghast]

Patrick,

It would seem natural to have an annotation of any of the things that
that are covered by the new osisGenType/osisGenRegex.  As a result it
would seem appropriate to have a annotateRef be a list of osisGenRegex
and osisRefRegex.  

In the current regex, there is no way to NOT put a prefix with
osisGenRegex.

We should NOT allow ":" in the part after the prefix.  Mainly because if
the prefix is not specified and there is a ":" in the identifier value
with a ":" within it then the text before the ":" would be interpreted
as the prefix.  Secondarily, there could be a prefix immediately
followed by a ":" character.  It would seem wise to reserve "::" for
some future use.
