Tell me about. What I am doing is converting from the document actually 
created as a product of translation, which was actually used (I wonder 
how) in producing printed Bibles. I have been blessed by the fact that 
it is XML. I have been less blessed by it being very obviously 
completely non-designed scheme created as need happened (XML element 
<amacron/> FTW!; and that's one of around twenty of similar elements). 
It has not only milestoned verses (which seems to be common), but also 
milestoned paragraphs (which apparently is not proper OSIS).

Hmm, interesting. Is there a quality usfx2mod program? Should I switch 
from OSIS to USFX? I really don't want to work on non-XML format given I 
have XML sources and XSLT scripts to work on it.

Where does it grow?
