[sword-devel] Open source German Volxbibel

[David Haslam]

I quite agree!

Their way of working seems odd to say the least.

Everytime they do a format shift in this way, we find another few codepoints
they forgot to cater for in their complicated (and almost unreadable)
SED-based scripts.

IMHO, there is nothing to be gained by shifting from Unicode to hexadecimal
codes and back again.
It is an error prone operation. They seem to be wedded to the SED tool, even
though there are much more suitable utilities and programs available in the
open-source community.
