They might be fine, but don't trust any testing based on LiddellScott or 
LewisShort (or any of the other Perseus content, or the old Germanic 
language lexicons). These are all based on TEI that is pre-P5, and since 
we've settled on using P5, they will need to be updated.

Strong, ISBE, & Webster1913 should all be fine.

The quality of the modules is definitely superior. But the quality of 
the filters is not yet very good. (The definitions beginning with a 0 is 
a result of the filters, for example, IIRC.)

It would be great to see BT support TEI, since I'm planning to start 
releasing TEI content after the release of 1.6.1.
