This look great.

I did not find oowriter2osis.xsl in your last zip file, so I read the file
you posted on Feb 8.  You should avoid using 'disable-output-escaping' if
possible because:
- It makes you mix structure and content
- It can produce invalide XML
- The XML tree produced is not usable unless serialized
- You can open a tag in a template and close it in another

In <xsl:template name="header">, you have 
	<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><refSystem>Bible</refSystem></xsl:text>
, but
	<refSystem>Bible</refSystem> 
should do the same.

When looking for help about XSLT, I use
http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_w3celementref.asp and
http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_functions.asp is for XPath.

You should read the full XSLT tag list to see which exist.

For <xsl:template match="text:h">, you have

	<xsl:variable name="sectvar">
		<xsl:text>div</xsl:text>
	</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:variable name="idvar">
		<xsl:text> type="x-</xsl:text>
		<xsl:value-of select="@text:style-name"/>
		<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
	</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><</xsl:text>
	<xsl:value-of select="$sectvar"/>
	<xsl:value-of select="$idvar"/>
	<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">></xsl:text>
	<xsl:apply-templates/>
	<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></</xsl:text>
	<xsl:value-of select="$sectvar"/>
	<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">></xsl:text>

But with <xsl:attribute> you can do the same (not tested):

	<xsl:variable name="idvar" select="@text:style-name"/>
	<div>
		<xsl:attribute name="type">
			<xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="concat('x-',$idvar)"/></xsl:text>
		</xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:apply-templates/>	
	</div>
