It is both correct USFM and it it is what we get to work with.

Betreff: Re: [sword-devel] usfm to osis converter...
I was previously aware of multiple untagged references in \r's but not \x's, but I do see it in the manual.   It seems poor markup to include multiple references per \xt tag. USFM does support multiple \xt tags per \x ... \x* tag.

And I think this is the problem.

Xrefs can take any number of complicated forms. lists, ranges, etc.
They are context dependent - sometimes the xref is only to a verse or a
chapter/verse combo. Without understanding of the meaning of the
separators you are often lost.

Mark 1,2;3 could mean second and third verse of chapter 1 of Mark, it
could mean second verse of chapter 1 of Mark and verse 3 of the current
chapter, it could mean first and second chapter of Mark, and verse 3 of
the current chapter and a whole plethora of other potential readings -
all dependent on what is meant by , and ;.
