It would be wise, to not use XML. We could put all text files into jar, 
since it's read only this wouldn't be problem. I haven't take a look at 
OSIS, but it uses XML, which needs about 3 Mb's of libraries and quite a 
lot of CPU... We could create application which will create text files and 
put them into jar file, which you can download and install, just like any 
sword package... I will make test how to do this in next few days, and I 
will tell you the results...but first I must see how OSIS works...
