[sword-devel] classes spans vs presentational encoding - was Re: Font size specification inside <divinename></divinename>

[Troy A. Griffitts]

As DM has suggested, I am all in favor of copying the current osis to
htmlhref filter (or actually copying and merging in the changes from
webif filter) to osisxhtml and slowing changing markup to use classed
spans and providing a SWBuf OSISXHTML::getHeader(); method which would
supply a basic header to prepend to a display object when rendering.
Obviously a frontend could supply their own or use this as a base but
override whatever they wanted.  Initially it would return a string like:

"
.divineName {
	font-variant: small-caps
}

...
"

Thoughts?
