I tried Donne's Devotions.  None of the h1, h2, h3, h4, or h5's showed up (it 
uses <title type="x-hX" osisID="blah"> </title> for the headings, where 1 <= 
X <= 5).  Perhaps the reason why I saw nothing was because, as you said, the 
markup isn't filtered yet, hehe :)

So is SWORD going to support OSIS better than ThML?  Because I have to do 
extensive editing to a stock ThML file from CCEL to get SWORD and BibleTime 
to display it correctly...

Thanks,
