== The roles of subType="x-preverse"  and canonical="true" in title elements? ==

It would seem that the SWORD engine (though not JSword) not only uses the title attribute <tt>subType="x-preverse"</tt> to determine title ''position'', but also to determine whether or not the title is ''displayed'' when the headings are ''hidden'' by the front-end settings for modules with GlobalOptionFilter=OSISHeadings. This is made more complicated by its relationship with the attribute <tt>canonical="true"</tt>, which rightly ''overrides'' the hiding of headings in JSword, but not in SWORD. A further complication is when the same verse has more than one preverse title. Even JSword falls over at this point. I do not understand the reasoning behind this behaviour.
