Xiphos never had code specifically regarding GB Bibles at all; the whole
idea was that it should be invisible.  When the underlying API changed
for av11n, work was done to update Xiphos' use of it appropriately,
which still (at that time) restricted it to KJV v11n because I wasn't
prepared to do the required additional VerseKey work, which was a bit
far-reaching. That is, nothing was done at that time to add v11n
sensitivity to key creation, hence all keys defaulted to KJV. But it
never knew anything specific about GB v11n. In principle, the apps
shouldn't be able to tell.

/me is still confused.

There's nothing in Xiphos that restricts (or cares about, in fact) where
v11n details come from.  Xiphos just expects to be able to ask the API
"how many books are available?" and "what are their names?"  Whether
that's from original KJV layout, or updated av11n, or GB Bible internal
generality, Xiphos has never cared, as long as the API gives results.
