Thanks for the answers.
Some advise to duplicate the commentary for every verse (Ps.23.1,
Ps.23.2, Ps.23.3, etc.) and some said it is a frontend issue. I am still
a bit lose and disappointed for the end users.
I don't understand why for commentaries, the OSIS reference "Ps.23-1.5"
is not the same as "Ps.23.1 Ps.23.2 Ps.23.3 Ps.23.4 Ps.23.5" for
instance. In my opinion it should be considered exactly the same. Or
else, why not? Moreover, if I declare that this commentary covers
"Ps.23.1-5", the engine should show the commentary if I asked for
commentary for verse 3 for instance. Why only for the first vese? Or
maybe I misunderstood the concept of Crosswire commentary…
If I change all the OSIS references to match every verses, I hope the
module size will not grow 20 times. And if I do so, for frontends like
Xiphos which have a "commentary by chapter" view, the frontend will
duplicate the commentary or use a hack to avoid duplication of the same
text…
Currently I do not know what is the best, I see all these proposals like
rather hacks (in the OSIS source or in frontends).

I am wrong, I did not find the conversation.
Xiphos has a feature, "commentary by chapter," so that whole
commentary chapters are displayed along with whole Bible chapters, and
then the verse is tracked visually in the commentary pane, but in a
different manner from the Bible pane (i.e. current verse always
aligned to top, plus a preceding horizontal rule). It's a UI issue
IMO, not an engine issue. If you explicitly list the verse range
covered in your markup, then I imagine you might get the effect you
want in other UIs.
Up to this time, Xiphos' commentary by chapter has not been default,
and I wonder if I should make it so in the future.
