I also want to ask again about multiple verses that have been combined into one 
verse i.e. Genesis 1:6-7.  Bibledit complains about the usfm formatting of \v 
6-7.  However, in the USFM User Reference PDF disributed by paratext this is a 
common format for usfm encoding and is used multiple times in their examples.  
Then when I look at the osis 2.1 user manual for March 2006, pg 15 it clearly 
represents a way to do this as well:

<verse sID="Esth.1.1-Esth.1.2" osisID="Esth.1.1 Esth.1.2" n="1-2"/>
King Xerxes of Persia lived in his capital city of Susa and ruled one
hundred twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia.
<verse eID="Esth.1.1-Esth.1.2"/>

Sadly, the end result is that if I try to validate osis that includes this 
formatting, it is considered invalid.  The solution I have been using to make 
this work in GoBible and to avoid the error warnings in Bibledit is to create 
an empty verse 7 for GoBible file or in my sword project module to leave the 
text without a vs 7.  This allows me to validate, but it makes our published 
text and our electronic text different and could give the appearance to people 
using the electronic version that we have deleted parts of God's Word.  Any 
known solution that is better than this?

Thanks,
Luke
