The main thing to realize is that any type beginning with "x-" is 
non-standard.  In this case, x-StudyNote probably should be changed to 
study.  The best practice for converting GBF notes to OSIS, unless you 
specifically know the type of notes that they are, would be simply 
<RF>xyz<Rf> -> <note>xyz</note>.  None of the other attributes (n or type) 
are mandatory, and they aren't indicated by GBF encoding.

x-Strongs here indicates a Strong's number.  x-StrongsMorph here indicates 
a TVM value, which you probably won't run into very frequently.
