I think we need to distinguish between accepted practice and simply poor functionality in Paratext. Paratext is the reference implementation, but lack of error warning in Paratext does not mean we need to implement this as "allowed. I would count \v 10-12 and, at a stretch, also \v 5,6 as accepted practice - irrespective of what the spec says. Similarly the \v 10a ...\s.... \v10b construct. A fair number of other examples though seem to be essentially errors and all parties benefit from us finding and correcting these. Bear in mind that poor USFM leads also often to poor typesetting. So, our feedback and corrections do help to fix the text. Just because Paratext does not complain about a particular construct does not make it accepted practice.
