[sword-devel] Android SWORD

My two pence.. feel free to ignore.

* OSIS -> XSLT -> XHTML is unnecessarily complicated.

* Indeed, it is easy enough to get the raw text. If you still prefer
to convert raw text to OSIS first, given an XML parser/sequencer and a
DOM, the programming language (Java) is all you need to produce the
output (HTML). Personally, I've found using XSLT/XPath a bit
cumbersome.

Love in Christ,

David
