Yes. Though the formatting related tags should be MUCH easier to do, maybe it 
would be intelligent to start with these to see how it works; though they can 
be left out at this point.
But you are right.

We need some object for "translating" the ThML stuff. For example, scripture 
references can be pretty complicated and have to be analysed. But this would 
not be necessary for displaying; "only" for DND, popup menus etc.
You know, the stuff that makes it productive and really useful.

Yes. Do we have some ThML modules in sword for testing?
