It's just that the status bar can be turned off, and having S10 could easily
trick people into thinking that this is strongs number 10. Better would be a
letter since that would not be confused with a real strongs number, although
it would be confused with notes. With strongs numbers however they are not
referring to anything visible, so some magic unchanging symbol would be just
as useful - in fact would having the words be links themselves be the same?

Personally I tend to read from an ESV, and use the KJV as a reference for
Strong's numbers, so readability isn't paramount, and for me, the actual
numbers are useful sometimes - e.g. when looking at 'love' you can tell if
it's agapeo or phileo at a glance.

Joe.
