[sword-devel] NET Bible .....

My comments assume making a rawtext module rather than an hrefcom for NET...

Because of the length and quantity of notes, I would suggest we do NET as a
Bible & commentary pair, essentially like the Darby/DTN pair we now have,
but bundled together.  I think I've heard this is how Logos does it.

We may want to add some keys to the config files to indicate that the two
components are linked, to support front ends automatically querying the
complementary module.

I don't think I'm understanding you completely, here, but ThML modules may
have hyperlinks.  There's no guarantee that the frontends will support them
though.  GBF and RTF have no way of doing hyperlinking on arbitrary objects,
though you could think of GBF's footnote, Strong's, cross ref, etc. tags as
a form of hyperlinking.
