JSword compares references to Book, Chapter and Verse boundaries. We have a process that will extract references from a module and validate them. It may be broken as we don’t use it often. Its purpose is to validate that JSword can handle the references that it finds in a Bible or Commentary module against that module’s v11n. It’s not to find bad references, though it might do that.
The problem is that non-OSIS references are all over the place with regard to how that they are specified. What does Jo 1:1 mean? I bet that if you are in the book of John, Jonah, Job, ..., it means that book. But in another book, who knows. And if you find a reference in a Dictionary, the v11n is not specified. The same kind of check can be done with SWORD. It will have the same kinds of issues that JSword does.
