I have entered an issue into Jira against BibleCS. Here is the text I
entered:
When two or more verses are marked in OSIS with a single verse tag, such
as <verse osisID="gen.1.1 gen.1.2" n="1,2">...</verse> the rendering of
the text by any client should indicate both 1 and 2. Of course part of
the problem is that osis2mod strips the verse elements and presents just
the content.
Example
1,2 In the beginning....
or
1-2 In the beginning....
or
whatever.
It might be acceptable to require and show the content of the n
attribute. Or perhaps show the content of n if present, otherwise use a
programmatic form.

I'd always thought that OK - yes - that is what it does. I suppose it
might be a slight improvement if it put out a verse range - but it's
never been an issue ass far as I am concerned.
I disagree. The BibleCS and Bibletime version of presenting things could create serious problems when dealing with Muslims - One of the constant features of Islamic attack against the truth of the gospel is the claim that the Bible is not complete.
This might sound daft to you, but I would have real hesitation to show e.g. the
Turkish module to a new Turkish believer - who would then be tempted to think
things have been cut. Logic may well be bypassed at such a moment. (This
applies both to the previous problem of poor encoding and to the presentational
problem of BibleCS and BibleTime.) Gnomesowrd's version of showing linked
verses is just plain ugly - but not half as damaging.
