Greg,
Take a look at the OSIS file and the compiled module at
https://sites.google.com/site/danielowensstuff/Home/test.zip?attredirects=0&d=1.
Just to be sure that I was not making an outlandish claim, I deleted
type="psalm" canonical="true" from the title element, compiled the
module, and BibleTime showed the title. I added them back in and
compiled again, and the title disappeared.

Do you have a compiled version of the module up anywhere? I'm very
surprised by the claim that Xiphos, BibleTime, and BibleCS do not
support canonical titles.

Based on varied sources, including Patrick's helpful example OSIS Bible, I
put together an example OSIS "Bible" that validates and is consistent with
the wiki page on OSIS Bibles ( http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/OSIS_Bibles).
The text itself is mostly KJV text, with a little Hebrew to illustrate more
than what the KJV can by itself. I chose to use the BSP structure because
the KJV illustrates the BCV structure well already, and I have no idea idea
how to deal with paragraphs and poetry in the BCV structure.
You can find the example file and the following list of features at
http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/OSIS_Bibles/BSPExample:
- BookGroup and section titles, including parallel passages:<title>
- Book introduction
- List:<list>,<item>
- Table:<table>,<row>,<cell>
- Bold and italic text:<hi>
- Strong's numbers, lemma, and morphology:<w>, @lemma, @morph
- Notes, including study notes and cross-references:<note>,<reference>
- Marked additions:<transChange>
- Canonical title (Psalms):<title type="psalm" canonical="true">
- Poetry markup:<lg>,<l>
- Divine Name:<seg>,<divineName>
- Variants:<seg type="x-variant" subType="x-1">
- Abbreviations:<abbr>
I compiled and tested the module, and I will send a separate email when I
have a chance to record the results systematically. Suffice it to say, no
one front-end supports all of the markup well, and some features (such as
variants and tables) are conspicuously poorly supported. Since it is not a
complete text of the KJV, some odd display issues should be ignored, but
most front-ends displayed the "New Testament" title at the bottom of Psalm
3. It would be lovely if front-end developers would see how their front-end
handles it (or doesn't). I can send a compiled module to those who are
interested.
Feedback is welcome. If I have missed something or used less-than-ideal
markup, please let me know, and we can change it.
Daniel
