Chris,

I completely understand you wanting to guard against badly formatted modules
being submitted to the project. I was not "crying for new features." I was
simply reacting against the idea of intentionally obfuscating the module
creation process to keep non-programmers away. I believe the Sword Project
would be greatly enriched by modules containing contemporary content instead
of the same 100+ year old public domain stuff everyone else has. I'm not
asking you to bend over backwards to support badly marked up code. Quite the
opposite. It would not bother me at all if Sword instituted a
policy/mechanism that every module had to be in valid well-formed OSIS 1.5,
anything else wouldn't even display.

Please don't take my words as a criticism of what you are doing or have
done. I only wanted to suggest that more eyes and fingers the project has on
board the better. Intentionally driving people away seems counterproductive.


by grace alone,
