usfm2osis.py doesn't much care what is lacking. It will process whatever 
it's given, without complaint.

The following snippet works fine (with only id, p, and v) and outputs no 
errors:

\id GEN
\p Para 1
\v 1
\p verse one text
\v 2 verse two text
\v 3
\p verse three text

But it does result in invalid OSIS since the chapter number is unknown.
Perfectly valid OSIS is produced from:

\id GEN
\p Para 1
\c 1
\v 1
\p verse one text
\v 2 verse two text
\v 3
\p verse three text

My guess would be that there are encoding errors in the input files.
