Hi Robert, ".... (e.g., when \d is used as a paragraph type marker with verses logically "inside" the \d marker which is not actually documented [nor banned] in the USFM specification)"
This is the subject of a separate (ongoing) email discussion that I started the other day. Actual thread title: "Verses that are [partly] a title ...." When I first encountered this recently, I was very surprised, and obtained confirmation from my contact in BFBS that this use of \d was "perfectly valid". The logical concept of being "inside" can only properly apply to USFM marker pairs. It's quite meaningless for USFM markers that have no explicit end tag. This is one of the major theoretical problems in mapping USFM to OSIS. How does one know where a given construct really ends? The human brain is adept at judging by the context. Very hard to implement by an algorithm. Within Paratext, there is a background two way conversion between USFM and USX. The latter is a defined XML schema. It's this that validates USFM files. Within other software such as Bibledit, the validation cannot be so rigorous, because it doesn't make use of the published USX schema.
