[sword-devel] Av11n and coverage

[Костя и Алёна Маслюк]

Nice idea, we can document this and use to fix existing display problems  
with incomplete modules (on level of conf files and frontends, not  
engine). But its more like on crutches for me and really universal  
solution is module-supplied v11ns.
