The problem is that the resp element used in the Sword KJV module is not 
part of any OSIS ever released, and since we use JAXB as a parser which 
is strictly validating, we're a bit stuffed.

I've spent some time writing some code to clean up invalid XML - hence 
you can see something. There may be more we can do as band aid, but I 
can't help thinking that the real problem is JAXB, so the real solution 
is to use something else...

The next temporary fix is to write a SAX filter to strip out resp 
attributes.

Sorry I can't be more help.
