[Adrian Korten]

g'day,

Thanks for picking up on that. It was actually the latter quesion about 
good OSIS structure - 'Book/Chapter/Verse vs. Book/Section/Paragraph'. 
This was not initially discussed but it came out later in DM Smith's 
email about 'BCV' and 'BSP'. As I now understand it, Crosswire has 
traditionally been oriented to the verse. However as OSIS takes hold, 
the engine (and later the UIs) should switch to a paragraph orientation.
