Thanks for the info.

Will many, most, all of the Sword Modules eventually become available in 
an OSIS 1.5 form, xml text not binary? If so then all other comments 
below are without need.

I know I can find some of the texts in pre-Sword form on other sites. 
But some of them I haven't found. For example the TSK. I don't see a 
source mentioned in the Sword docs and CCEL doesn't show it. (at least 
not that I've found)

Are any of the texts available somewhere in their original ThMl/GBF text 
based forms? Old ISOs or something? The newer the better (theoretically) 
as no need to correct already corrected data.

Not trying to be dense, hard-headed or anything but just wanting to 
understand options. Marked up text I can handle. Binary modules I can't 
read.

Any information and help greatly appreciated.
