I currently see 3 modules that claim this:

cpdv.conf:GlobalOptionFilter=OSISMorphSegmentation
hinerv.conf:GlobalOptionFilter=OSISMorphSegmentation
turntb.conf:GlobalOptionFilter=OSISMorphSegmentation

All Xiphos can do is turn on the option so that whatever Sword does, re: 
rendering of that option, will happen. Xiphos provides that via context 
menu → Module Options → Morpheme Segmentation.

Xiphos uses XHTML filters. diatheke shows that the engine doesn't render 
<seg> content in normal output:

mod2imp CPDV | grep -A1 'Genesis 1:1$'
$$$Genesis 1:1
<div type="x-milestone" subType="x-preverse" sID="pv1"/><title 
type="x-description">God creates Heaven and Earth, and all things 
therein, in six days.</title> <div eID="gen6" type="introduction"/> <div

The creation of angels also occurred with the creation of heaven. The 
creation of earth is really the creation of the universe, and 
subsequently earth.<*seg* type="x-usfm-fl">(Conte)</*seg*></note><div

I don't know what a frontend is supposed to do with it. I see no content 
as delivered, and I see no indication of a footnote-style tag marker 
that would say a UI could do something more with tags.
