We will never switch our main distribution format to a non-binary 
format.  We also /probably/ won't make most of our material available in 
OSIS format.  But we will have two exporters: mod2osis (already 
available) and Diaspora (the next version supports OSIS export).

Not all modules come from single documents.  Some come from thousands of 
documents on websites.  I don't know where TSK came from, but there are 
three websites that have the same content listed as the top three sites 
when searching on "Treasure of Scriptural Knowledge".

Aside from the few that come from CCEL or bible.org, no.
