Sub-identifiers ?

[DavidHaslam]

Should you implement sub-identifiers as documented in the SWORD developers' wiki ?

• http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/OSIS_Bibles#Marking_cross-references_notes
• Example: (in which the ! sub-identifier syntax is used)
• <note type="crossReference" n="t" osisID="Jer.24.7!crossReference.t">

15.3. Sub-identifiers

Translations also often split verses into parts, provided labels such as ‘a’ and ‘b’ for the separate parts.
Encoders may freely add sub-identifiers below the lowest standardized level. They are set off from the
standardized portion by the character ‘!’. For example:

Rev.2.20!b

Such subdivisions are not standard across different translations, so applications must be prepared to discard them when trying to locate a referenced location in a different edition.

These extensions are not considered a formal part of the canonical reference scheme, and so a work that uses them need not claim it is using a different scheme.

Any further thoughts on this issue?

This is partially implemented.
