These are the things that need to be finished for 1.5.6 to ship.  We 
need to get the WWBS guys something by month's end so they can go to 
press with a CD that will be included in their print NCV/ESV parallel Bible.

Here's the list.  I could really use your help and from those with 
valuable experience right now, as time is short.

new OSISFootnotes filter which adds the note to an entryAttribute
a poor beta of the ESV is on the alpha module download page to test against.

copy of the *HTMLHREF filter set to *WEBIF and allow base URL parameters 
in [Globals] like VerseDisplayURL=passagestudy.jsp

other filters that use XML tags can be changed to use the new utility, 
XMLTag, instead of looking for hardcoded string like "w lemma=", so the 
order of attributes doesn't matter anymore.

osisrtf could be changed to show footnotes as e.g.<a href="*1a"> "1a" 
matching the letter of the entryAttribute of the note then BibleCS could 
change these to links (by copying the verseref code which already 
changes verserefs to links).  Then the onURLClick even could check if 
the url starts with '*' and if so, grab the note from the entryAttribute 
of the '1' verse by the 'a' name.

Thanks for considering sacrificing your time.  We really need you.
