That would be excellent, do you prefer diff -u or normal diff ?

If indexing is so complicated and easy to break, thml is probably the way to go.
Maybe we should instead take the copy of the danish bible from Project Gutenberg
http://www.prairienet.org/pg/etext00/
and convert it to thml. I've done some proofreading on this text before so it
should be in better condition than Sword's precent version. Project Runeberg has
made a html version of it so maybe I can ask them if I can borrow their script
or whatever they used. Or perhaps it would be easier to convert their version
