g'day, Thanks for picking up on that. It was actually the latter quesion about good OSIS structure - 'Book/Chapter/Verse vs. Book/Section/Paragraph'. This was not initially discussed but it came out later in DM Smith's email about 'BCV' and 'BSP'. As I now understand it, Crosswire has traditionally been oriented to the verse. However as OSIS takes hold, the engine (and later the UIs) should switch to a paragraph orientation.
