The following is just to keep in mind - it comes from my copy of the Jerusalem Bible as printed by Doubleday (US Publishers). I can't find any indication of what printing this might have come from and the only copyright date in the front reads 1966, which is the first copyright date leading me to

It still seems clear, to me, that there are a large number of technical difficulties as we climb outward in our search to support everyone's canon. I'm guessing a mapping mechanism will have to wait until we have determined our full support extent and, even then, will be non-trivial to

I've noticed a couple of locales now in SVN that have problems from the perspective of Sword's verse parser. Sword's verse parser looks for the first non-initial digit in a verse reference and interprets this as the beginning of a chapter number. So 1Kings or 2Baruch are fine, since the digits
