[sword-devel] updated WEB and HNV bible modules?

[Chris Little]

In case anyone is waiting anxiously for the WEB & HNV modules, I just 
wanted to give an update and report that I did find some time to work on 
them over the weekend but am not finished. Basic GBF->OSIS tag 
conversion is mostly complete. I think I still have to tweak quotation 
marking, and the large tasks of pruning unnecessary tags & making the 
converter not just generate equivalent OSIS elements but 
schema-validatable (and then more generally OSIS-conformant) still 
remain. So there's progress, but it will still take at least another 
weekend.
