There's a bug in the assumption in 
o.c.j.book.sword.SwordBookMetaData.hasFeature(FeatureType feature)
It looks first at Feature and then at GlobalOptionFilters. It assumes 
that the filter is named the same as the Feature but has the SourceType 
appended to it.

The basic difference between SWORD API and JSword regarding 
GlobalOptionFilters is that for SWORD, they are the name of a class that 
does filtering and the order of the filters in the conf can make a 
difference. For JSword, all filtering takes place in the XSLT. I had 
thought that (prior to Peter's input) in a SWORD app the presence of a 
Feature is meant to indicate whether the toggle should be made available 
and the presence of the GlobalOptionFilter is what actually does the work.

I think the easiest fix is to change:
o.c.j.book.FeatureType.STRONGS_NUMBER("StrongsNumber");
to
o.c.j.book.FeatureType.STRONGS_NUMBER("Strongs");

This change should work correctly for all JSword apps.

Hope that helps for now....
