Re: title and the various attributes. The most important thing is that it
displays. Which it does. It may look funky under certain circumstances. All
depends on what the frontend expects as a hierarchy of titles.
For example:
main - the outermost title, typically the title of a book
chapter - the main title of a chapter
no attr - a section title
sub - a sub-title of another title
continued - an additional line of the immediately prior title
Re: title and type=parallel, the OSIS manual recommends as you have noted, but
when it describes the purpose of parallel it is otherwise. IMHO, one of those
two places is wrong or the document needs improvement.

In looking at how SWORD and JSword frontends handle this, I looked at Bible
Desktop, Xiphos and Eloquent.
In Bible Desktop, toggling references just changes whether the link is active
or not. So it looks good.
In Xiphos, footnotes are toggled, so it shows as link text at all times. So it
looks good.
However, in Eloquent (successor to MacSword), the titles are not shown at all.
I think it is a bug in Eloquent.
I think both BD and Xiphos (SWORD? CSS?) would do well to eliminate the space
between immediately adjacent titles.
