Thanks Troy.  Here is the output I get for Genesis1:1

<w lemma="strong:H07225">In the beginning</w> 
<w lemma="strong:H0430">God</w> 
<w lemma="strongMorph:TH8804" morph="x-StrongsMorph:TH8804">created</w> 
<w lemma="strong:H08064">the heaven</w> 
<w lemma="strong:H0853">and</w> 
<w lemma="strong:H0776">the earth</w>.

This looks manageable, except I don't know if strongMorph:TH8804 is
equivalent to strong:H8804 or not; if not, how do I go from strongMorph
to the strong's number?

Now, for Revelation 22:21, this is the output:

<w lemma="robinson:T-GSM" morph="x-Robinson:T-GSM" src="3"></w>
<w lemma="robinson:T-NSF" morph="x-Robinson:T-NSF" src="1"></w>
<w lemma="robinson:N-NSF" morph="x-Robinson:N-NSF" src="2">The grace</w> 
<w lemma="robinson:P-1GP" morph="x-Robinson:P-1GP" src="5">of our</w> 
<w lemma="robinson:N-GSM" morph="x-Robinson:N-GSM" src="4">Lord</w> 
<w lemma="robinson:N-GSM" morph="x-Robinson:N-GSM" src="6">Jesus</w> 
<w lemma="robinson:N-GSM" morph="x-Robinson:N-GSM" src="7">Christ</w>
be 
<w lemma="robinson:PREP" morph="x-Robinson:PREP" src="8">with</w> 
<w lemma="robinson:P-2GP" morph="x-Robinson:P-2GP" src="10">you</w> 
<w lemma="robinson:A-GPM" morph="x-Robinson:A-GPM" src="9">all.</w> 
<w lemma="robinson:HEB" morph="x-Robinson:HEB" src="11">Amen.</w>

I have no idea how to take that output and programmatically convert it
into a strong's number.  It looks like some of the Greek words that have
strong's numbers don't even have representative English words.

I do really like the fact that "added in" words aren't surrounded by <w>
tags; I plan to mark these words in italics and give readers an option
to not have the words show up at all.

To be honest, although strong's numbers are nice, what I really need is
an index into an array of Hebrew and Greek words that are spelled
equivalently to how they are in their original language.

Part of my project is I want to do some research into what happens with
strong's numbers when you strip off the vowel points from Hebrew and
treat all strong's numbers with the same resulting spelling as being one
word.
