[osis-users] Some more footnote questions - more osisIDs and osisRefs on notes

These two and case 3 should perhaps have been combined, but I'll respond 
just to affirm that these are just additional instances of the same 
issue. Put the verses that a note refers to in osisRef. And put 
something like the verse in which they appear plus "!note" in the osisID.

Examples below....

<note osisID="Exod.33.19!note" osisRef="Exod.33.19 Exod.34.5">...</note>

<note osisID="Rom.1.7!note" osisRef="Rom.1.7">...</note>
(I don't see this as a note about Rom.1.1, but add that to the osisRef 
if it is deemed to be about Rom.1.1.)

Alternately, you could put an osisID on the title element itself and 
have something like:
<title type="sub" level="4" osisID="Lev.23.23!title">Uudenvuodenjuhla
<note osisID="Lev.23.23!title.note" osisRef="Lev.23.23!title">***</note>
</title>

or, if the title is not part of the verse, only part of the chapter:

<title type="sub" level="4" osisID="Lev.23!title2">Uudenvuodenjuhla
<note osisID="Lev.23!title2.note" osisRef="Lev.23!title2">***</note>
</title>
