Many of the inserted numbers do not have entries in standard Strong's
remotely close in meaning so it would be wrong to do this to all numbers.

A complete Lexicon for the Apostolic Bible will soon be available. I have
not yet had time to write a program to generate TEI markup from the tex file
it is currently in. We will be charging for the lexicon however so it will
be a locked module.

I hadn't thought of this for some reason but will try to implement this.

Yes, italics indicate added text. I will change this.

I could remove all occurrences of G* if you prefer. The best thing to do
would be to automatically insert Strong's numbers for available names.
However there are many names in the Old Testament that do not have a number.

I will change this.

This can hopefully be corrected with some improvements to my program.

Ok.
