Yes.
I just tested a version of MacSword with Sword library 1.5.10 where  
the cross ref list (<reference> elements) are placed inside the note  
element and are passed to the HTML filter.
Has there been a change for this from 1.5.10 to 1.5.11?

Hmm, we are doing exactly that ATM.
We didn't override AddRenderFilters() in SWMgr but set Filter subclass  
instances for every module in a loop via Module::AddRenderFilter().
So the prefered way is to do this via SWMgr::AddRenderFilters().

We did that and used RenderFilters from BibleTime project from 2001.
But I adapted some changes of the current Sword render filters so the  
new attributes are checked for additionally to the depricated ones.
