[Todd Tillinghast]

Troy,

Perhaps a compromise for common works would be something like:
Bible.en.OSIS.KJV.1769.Crosswire.WordLevelMarkup.2004

Where for OSISReservedNames the Publishers is OSIS and then following
the date the actual publisher/encoder of a specific instance would
follow.

This maintains the structure for the less common cases and still
provides full fallback behavior.

So a reference to the KJV in general would be Bible.en.OSIS.KJV.1769.

The trick could possibly be something like Bible.en.OSIS.NIV.1984.IBS
rather than Bible.en.IBS.NIV.1984.

Thoughts?

Todd
