I think (but am not certain) if you get the new KJV module and run 
mod2osis on it, you will get stuff similar to what I described (plus 
morphology & Strong's numbers).

It's not described anywhere at the moment, but there is a manual in 
progress.  I guess in this case, we hoped that the attribute names would 
be self-explanatory, but they may not always be. :)

gloss should be a gloss (a very short translation, preferrably a single
word).  Strong's numbers would go in the lemma attribute in the form <w
lemma="x-Strong:H1234">...</w>. lemma and morph both require attribute
namespace indicators (x-Strong in this case), but not standard ones have
been defined yet, so you have to use "x-" to define your own.  gloss and
xlit (tranasliterated form) can both take regular strings.

Whether to use "x-Strong" or "x-Strongs" hasn't been decided.  I use and
would argue for the non-possessive form, but others may feel "Strongs" is 
so much more common that it deserves to be used.
