Hi David. I'm a little confused by your reply. When you say "SWORD doesn't," what do you mean?

If usfm2osis does something odd converting chapter 'descriptions' (I'd like a definition of a chapter description. Is this a chapter intro?) to OSIS titles then the owner of usfm2osis needs to improve the tool. I haven't kept up with all the tools floating around to convert usfm to OSIS or which ones are maintained/used/recommended by us.

Just to be sure there is no misunderstanding, SWORD XHTML RenderFilters do cater for CSS.
