Off tangent: Despite OSIS supporting strongly BSP encoding and despite more and more Bible modules coming on line which have sectioning, our software does not really support them effectively - beyond providing an option for headlines and some paragraphing. Sections cutting across chapter demarcations are usually not displayed as one. Sections are not searchable entities - despite being actually a very common realistic search target: I want e.g. find the story of David and Goliath and while a verse search will probably lead me there, a section search would be preferable. Books are displayed in most programmes as trees (or similar) of books/chapters/verse, not as trees of (named/titled) sections. One of the ideas behind GenBook bibles was IIRC to allow arbitrary addressing, but i am wondering if this might not be also possible with the help of section IDs within ordinary modules. I further wonder, if section IDs are chosen carefully as a system overarching all our modules whether this would allow a interesting way of displaying parallel Bible modules with different versifications. But this thought is half thought through only.
