I confirm that these are the same footnotes present in the 1611 original 
with updated spelling (which I presume means they're identical to those in 
the 1769 update).  The <catchWord> portion is not present in the text, but 
the note does occur immediately preceding the section it refers to.

I don't see any problem with the tags.  Hebrew strongs numbers do have a 
leading 0 that is incorrect.

I haven't found one so far.


Other minor problems with the KJV text that I noticed:

"x-StudyNote" should be "study"
<milestone type="x-p"/> is really bad.  Should be replaced with <milestone 
type="line"/> or better yet <p>/</p>
