Re: Bible book abbreviations and references

Colin, pointed out that we need a standard list of Bible abbreviations,
and suggests we fit in with the Crosswire list, which is well worked out.

Maybe we've agreed this but I can't see it anywhere. If we haven't, then
given we're building off Crosswire, I think it makes sense to use their
abbreviations, listed at:
http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/OSIS_Book_Abbreviations
together with their internal dot notation for internal use (easier to parse), i.e.,

internally we have 1Cor.5, 1Cor.5.14, but we output it as "1 Cor 5", "1
Cor 5:14" (assuming not 1 Cor. 5 with the dot).

plus the obvious set of ranges

1Cor.5:5-6:7
1Cor.5:5-7
1Cor.5-6
1Cor.5-6:7
