My apologies for the bad timestamp on the previous send of this message.
Fixed time and resending to help the flow. And a good opportunity to
add one comment:
Chris, I understand that you would not say "bag what the translators
wanted, just put a <p> marker at the top of each chapter." It seems we
both think the translators (I do not hold the same regard for the
typesetters) meant something very specific, were not idiots, and we
should preserve their intent.
We are of the same spirit.
-Troy.

Version 2.0 of the OSIS (Open Scripture Information Standard) spec
should be available any day, and I have been fighting for a few new
mechanisms so that I might be able to completely encode your NASB data
in the OSIS specification.
I have a few questions where your comments might help me succeed in
getting these tags added:
1) To quote your data from Matthew 8:34-9:2
{{40:8}}34 And behold<MG2400>, the whole<MG3956> city<MG4172>
came<MG1831> out to meet<MG5222> Jesus<MG2424>; and when they
saw<MG3708> Him, <RA>they implored<MG3870> Him to leave<MG3327> their
region<MG3725>.
CHAPTER 9
<SH>A Paralytic Healed
{{40:9}}1 Getting<MG1684> into a boat<MG4143>, Jesus crossed<MG1276>
over<MG1276> {the sea} and came<MG2064> to <RA>His own<MG2398>
city<MG4172>.
<PM>{{40:9}}2 <RA>And they brought<MG4374> to Him a
<RB>paralytic<MG3885> lying<MG906> on a bed<MG2825b>. Seeing<MG3708>
their faith<MG4102>, Jesus<MG2424> said<MG3004> to the
paralytic<MG3885>, <RS>``<RC>Take<MG2293> courage<MG2293>,
<N1>son<MG5043>; <RD>your sins<MG266> are forgiven<MG863>."<RT>
There is a <PM> (paragraph break mark) after verse 1 in chapter 9. I
would guess that this means that your editors disagreed with Jerome and
think the paragraph ending Chapter 8 continues into the first verse of
Chapter 9, which seems to me to be a fine conclusion. Can you confirm
that 9:1 belongs with the paragraph at the end of 8? (or any similar
case where the NASB does not feel that a new paragraph begins at each
chapter mark).

1. Yes, our translators thought the new paragraph should be at verse 2.
I know there are more situations like this but I do not have a list.
