[uf-new] proposed semantic HTML for Bible references

[Sean Boisen]

Thanks for pointing out that work, Andy. Existing and well-established
practice in citing Bible passages is rather different from most of these:
* Book (of the Bible, e.g. Isaiah or Is.), chapter and verse designators are
the most common: "Is 40:6" would be a typical case.
* Sometimes a specific translation is referenced, usually with an
abbreviation: e.g. "KJV" for the King James Version.
* Fields like author, publication date, publisher, volume, etc. simply
aren't used for 99% of the cases: that's not what people care about when
citing Bible passages. 

So I'm not sure whether it's appropriate for me to add these examples to the
wiki pages: thoughts? 

Sean
