[sword-devel] AbbottSmith module question

This module has never worked, as far as I can tell. I never was able to 
chase down why or convince Chris (who first put it up) to fix it. Thanks 
for calling attention to this, DM.

Now the source file has many corrections to the markup and data 
(https://github.com/translatable-exegetical-tools/Abbott-Smith/blob/master/abbott-smith.tei.xml). 
So I suggest a new module needs to be made.

However, it has been a long time since I have been able to successfully 
compile and test a TEI module. If someone has time and expertise to do 
this, I would be grateful because the TEI lexicon module creation cycle 
is a series of mysteries to me.
