To anser a bit more detailed - USFM is primarily designed to create printed Bibles. Electronic Bible modules have not been that long around and I doubt very much that they ever figured in anyone's imagination during the design of USFM etc. The markup is only vaguely semantic and has ample ideosyncrasies. That aside, there is of course a semantic in creating serial \xts , but each with more than one reference inside. It in essence means that each \xt group is a group of references which belong to each other, while the next one follow a different line of enquiry through the text.

In short you will not find anyone willing to create

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

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 ;.
