This is pretty much a bad idea with no upside.  If you are using OSIS
you really ought to use osis2mod.  That utility has numerous
advantages over imp2vs for OSIS source materials - including warnings
of certain types of invalid or improper markups and transforming
elements which start in verse A and end in verse B into a form which
can be properly displayed even if the displayed verse range begins in
the middle (think: Words of Christ in red spanning from Matthew 5
through Matthew 7.  osis2mod will mark up verses properly so that
someone viewing chapter 6 will still see words of Christ in red).  In
contrast, imp2vs has no benefits for an OSIS-source text.  Its only
real benefit is for ThML sources, which have no way to mark up Bible
verses in the native ThML.  You really oughtn't to use imp2vs for OSIS
sourced modules.
