It would be good for translations to work with the versification schemes given by the translators. But, there are time it is nice to force a translation to work with another versification scheme. Using a commentary that has Bible references does not work well if the Bible translation you want to use with it can only use a different scheme. Also, comparing translations is better if you can force them to use the same scheme. And, if I know where a verse is in one scheme, it is nice to be able to use that scheme with any translation to look it up. But, it should be clear when a translation's native scheme is not being used so one does not add to confusion by citing a verse with one scheme when people would expect it in a different scheme.
