I think it makes sense to support multiple personal commentaries. I'm not so convinced it makes sense to have a different commentary for each different versification. What (I think) would be expected (and certainly would be expected by me) is to have a collection of notes on verses, and have those notes displayed for that verse in the versification of the current module. Some notes might be on a verse only present in one versification. Others would be visible from just about all versifications (though quite possibly with a different chapter and verse in the different versifications). Having a comment on multiple verses (as is done by many comments and probably a reasonable expectation for making my own comments) becomes a little more tricky to decide what to display and where to display it, but I really can't see any advantage in having notes that can only be viewed in a certain versification, nor in having to remember when I'm using Bible X to have my module open for notes in Bible X's versification rather than my other notes commentary.
