[sword-devel] CCEL, ThML - volunteers?

Any time your list of exceptional conditions contains more text than the
conversion itself, you have to start questioning whether 'automation' is
even possible.

I spent time developing similar scripts (something like wordxml -> USFM)
for single use cases.  Doing the conversion was usually about 10 steps,
but  then dealing with the exceptions (both before and after the
conversion) took 100+ steps. Without automation, the 10 steps was good
enough. but not keeping a human involved, all the human decisions had to be
mapped.
