CCEL had ThML to OSIS conversion procedures (specifically, an XSLT I 
believe), but they never made it available to my knowledge. After CCEL's 
revision of their copyright policy (claiming copyright on PD works, 
including those encoded by non-CCEL parties), I don't think anyone is 
much interested in supporting this format.
