Yes, I thought that (both statements above). Which makes me think what
is the benefit of encouraging people to create Bible reading plans which
would not be usable by libsword users? Conceptually Bible reading plans
are nothing but very simple daily devotionals, but they have a huge
value for users. 

I agree that the localisation you mention of references is a useful
feature of JSword reading plans over daily devotional modules, but am
wondering if this could be implemented within the engines in other way?

If we had the ability to tag and interpret appropriately:

<reference osisRef="Luke.1.1"><div
x-translatable="true">Luke.1.1</div></reference> or some such

we could then create a filter item for parsing and converting acc user
desired locale the <div x-translatable="true">Luke.1.1</div> bit (or
however we want to tag that central bit.

All required infrastructure is available in both engines, adding it
would be useful in way more places than just daily devotionals.

Just thinking loud....
