We're not quite done w/ av11n. A bit more to do. Especially testing.

While I agree with you, the way we had been maintaining JSword forced it. We were developing the next release on trunk (very bad idea). That prevented Martin from using it directly. Martin has done nothing sneaky (code is very visible and Martin has kept us in the loop on the changes), has been feeding some changes back into JSword and once av11n is done, then we can meld them back together.

But because of the downstream fork, it makes it hard for you/anyone to integrate av11n into AndBible.
