There are a few other modules that have lemmas other than "strong:". If you want Strong's numbers look only for strong:.

The tr: lemma is the original greek from the TR Bible module. The src attribute gives the position of that word in the same verse. 

You can use the tr: value for an interlinear. You could also show the tr value and use the strong for the link.

I think this is across the board.

Actually, it is osis2mod that is doing that. The latest osis2mod allows for the WoC to be marked up naturally, even spanning chapters, such as with the beatitudes. So that would have a start in chapter 5 and an end in chapter 7. osis2mod then marks up the words individually with the WoC markup. It always puts the marker at the beginning of the verse as it has not seen any content from the verse.

So yes it was deliberate. The old source file used to have per verse markup. The new file has natural markup.

It doesn't work with Bible Desktop either.

Bible Desktop would do both: add a paragraph break and show the pilcrow.
I plan to check to see if the verse has a pilcrow, instead of seeing if the verse has it at the beginning. Haven't made the change, but it will be small.

Yes, that doesn't sound good. Bible Desktop doesn't have this problem as it has not identified the pilcrow as a paragraph separator.

osis2mod retains all tags and content from the module except the OSIS preamble.

If you dump the module w/ mod2imp, it is a simple matter of adding in verse tags to have a valid OSIS file.

You'll find lots of other tags that a renderer won't care about.
