I've put out the 5th beta. You can download it from the links at the 
bottom of the page (http://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2006)

As always, feedback is appreciated.

This beta corrects mistakes reported against the last beta. And also 
does the following:
Divine Name:
All divine names are tagged with <divineName> (most were already).
If the underlying strong's number is 3050 (YH), 3068 or 3069 (YHWH), I 
have added the type x-yhwh.
For those instances where the name is a compound with YHWH, the type is 
x-yhwh and the subtype is a transliteration of the hebrew of the 
compound part, e.g. x-tsidkenu.
There were also a few cases of JESUS in all caps. This is with the type 
x-jesus.
When the divine name  is in a <transChange> or a <note> I have tagged it 
without a type.
I also wrapped 2 instances of BRANCH in all caps with divineName as it 
appears that this is what the KJV was trying to communicate in making it 
all caps.
In all of these instances I have changed the word to begin with a 
capital letter and be followed with lower case. The intention is that 
these should be rendered with small-caps.
Questions: Should these be left as all caps? Can the front-ends render 
this?

Inscriptions:
I have identified all inscriptions that were in all caps in the KJV. I 
have wrapped these with <inscription> and changed the all caps to Title 
Case. The intention is that these should be rendered with small-caps, 
perhaps emphasized with bold.
Question: Should these be left as all caps? Can the front-ends render this?

Paragraphs:
I have compared the paragraph marks against two other e-texts and then 
against a print Old Scofield. The result is:
All paragraph marks starting a chapter have been deleted.
All paragraph marks that did not validate were changed to <milestone 
type="x-extra-p"/>, to hide them but keep them for future analysis.

Acrostic titles in Psalm 119:
I have added the attribute xlit to each <w> element surrounding the 
transliteration of the Hebrew alphabet letter (e.g. ALEPH) and set the 
value to the Hebrew character. This is not intended for display, but for 
completeness.

Next steps.
Fix any reported problems.
