A few thoughts... How do we envisage a frontend displaying this text? Do we expect each frontend to have special logic for displaying if there is a variation of the chapter? Consider all the various display cases: single Bible view, parallel Bible view, search results, etc... For example, if this module is included in a parallel display with a second module (say, Hebrew), what do we expect to happen if a chapter is displayed which includes an alternative chapter?
I don't have any good ideas which avoid frontends including special logic for something like this, which isn't reasonable. We do have at least one other scenario which is similar: Rahlfs' LXX, which includes alternate traditions for books. We also struggled with the best way to capture and display this. More difficult, Ralhfs uses a differing versification for alternate book traditions. We did proof of concepts with adding Alt books to an LXX versification, allowing LXX Book versifications to have enough chapter, book max to cover either tradition, creating a single module, having 2 modules-- the second having only the alternate traditions. I don't recall where we left off on that or what strategy our current Rahlfs Bible uses. Our CATSS LXX GenBook includes book traditions as 'A' and 'B', http://crosswire.org/study/bookdisplay.jsp?mod=LXXM But that just punts on the problem and uses GenBook because doesn't need to solve the problem of relating 'A' and 'B' together somehow.
