Sorry for previous attempt.

Please do not feel accused. I only would like to return to the course
of constructive dialogue.

I do not see another way but to leave it as is, and remake it after we
got any feedback. Few things changed in frontends since your first
attempt and i doubt anyone thought about it seriously.

It is not clear to me, what is speed and size of translation (i just
ask to be crystal clear, because beyond some point i can not
understand sense of sentence).

As Chris mentioned performance issues, i would like to remind that i
have suggested following pipeline (that is implemented yet):
1. Create table of mapped verses, at moment there are xml's with
something like ccel.org use
I would suggest to move to anything like OSIS if possible, so someone
can export mapping data from OSIS xml with original text. In other
words if we could add to osis xml-s with Biblical text some data that
would tell how particular verse maps to KJV, we will be able to export
everything from that xml: text, mapping data, canon. At moment there
is need to make additional file that have canon definition and mapping
data.
2. run python script that convert that xml to c++ compliant data that
would be inserted to corresponding canon.h file and compile library
with that data.
Data that is exposed to engine is optimized and whole system works fast.

I would like to have common mapping data among both Sword and JSword.

Again, few people thought about convenience of implementing parallel
display in own frontend. No one post own ideas on this list about it.
So i think we are not ready to discuss it at moment.



My patch only introduce way to find corresponding content among
different versifications.



Two points.
If some one feels strong enough to implement parallel display let him
have a try and wait his suggestions.
Second one, parallel display facilities you would like to implement in
Sword, before my work would be included, will take another long time,
possibly longer then if we include my work first.

Release smaller, release often.

P.S. i agree with general spirit flying on this list, we want changes
and some movement.


Blessings
