Titles in the above case should not be marked as canonical="true", since 
this is for titles that are part of canonical biblical text.

Styling can be assigned with the <hi> element, using the attributes 
identified here (as you have used in other cases 
above):http://www.crosswire.org/osis/schemas/osisCore.2.1.1.xsd.html#h763275348

So if you want a bold and underlined title text, you could do:
<title><hi type="bold"><hi type="underline">This is a 
title...</hi></hi></title>


To add an extra line between paragraphs, use markup such as:
<p>some paragraph text</p>
<lb/>
<p>some paragraph text for a second paragraph</p>
<lb/>
...


I'm not sure what would prevent a renderer from placing extra linebreaks 
between paragraphs with the above markup, but if you have troubles, 
please report which app rendering incorrectly.
