Well, now, that's an educational moment. Never heard of StrongsPadding 
before. Apparently neither has much of anyone else.

$ pwd
/home/karl/.sword/mods.d
$ ls | wc -l
890
$ grep StrongsPadding= *
bosworthtoller.conf:StrongsPadding=false
eusebian.conf:StrongsPadding=false
mywsc.conf:StrongsPadding=false
zhenglish.conf:StrongsPadding=false

    StrongsPadding
    At the heart of our lexicon/dictionary drivers, we have some old
    logic which tries to detect if a key value is a Strong's number, and
    if so, then pad it with leading zeros accordingly. To support this
    logic, the recognition has recently been added for an optional new
    .conf entry for lexicon/dictionary modules:

    StrongsPadding=true|false

How "recent" is this addition? Should other modules (Bibles, 
commentaries) have it, so as to indicate how its Strongs markup should 
be handled?

On its face, this is ambiguous: Is StrongsPadding=true an indication 
that the module /has/ padding already, or that it /needs/ padding to be 
provided?
