[sword-devel] Status of OSIS?

I've got 40 works and growing that I've been meaning to look at creating
Sword Modules. All of these are genbooks. Almost 100% currently are works
by Andrew Murray (but the list is much bigger.)

But, as I try to make sense of the OSIS spec, I'm facing a 2006 spec in not
very well done PDF, and another one with comments, and an xslt file, and a
mountain of comments on the wiki that span from outright errors, to support
gaps, to wishlist.

What is the status of OSIS? Is there a draft or official source, or even
Crosswire source that we can at least fix typos to? I've started one, just
to turn Appendix F into a real table... but as I read through the wiki, now
it seems I'm going to have to process everything to be able to trust what
I'm reading, and it makes sense that I should be dropping the result
somewhere more official than my google drive.

If we have permission to host the OSIS spec, do we have permission to
bugfix it (at least the spelling gaps, and fixing the tables of information
to be tabular?)
