OSIS is already being used in CrossWire's KJV in ways other than what was intended. The lemma and morph attributes indicate the lemma and morphology of their content, but the CrossWire KJV uses them to indicate the lemma and morphology of words in a completely different document.

Can you recommend a better way? I would like to create the best OSIS for the KJV and use xslt to make it acceptable to the SWORD api.

I can't. It's just isn't a normal thing to want to markup (morphology from some other text) and I can't see it ever being a common enough issue to warrant special handing in OSIS (like a new attribute).

I was thinking that POS is a better place for robinson's part of speech codes.

Robinson's codes identify more than just part of speech. POS shouldn't indicate case/number/person agreement or tense/aspect/mood/modality. Those are the domain of the morph attribute. (NB: Again, I don't know much about Greek, so if Greek doesn't have some portion of those attributes, obviously Robinson's doesn't either, but I know it presents a fairly complete description each word's morphology.)
