The idea is to provide something with similar capabilities to their SWORD program: "Holy Bible", but instead using their server to provide cross-browser HTML/Javascript using AJAX.

It should be a fairly easy adaptation. If this works out, then this will be a nice server side SWORD implementation. SWORD modules would remain on the server, and large local storage would not be needed.
