I think that the versification should be shown as part of the module information (after all, it is part of the module configuration), and possibly it should have a more presentable name or more information about a versification. If so, this should also be available from the API in some form, and it seems to me that it would be useful to have similar things in osis2mod, so that you don't just get: Available versifications: KJV Leningrad Luther ... which isn't that helpful if you know nothing about the available versifications.
