While I agree that this should be done, what is a person supposed to use in the meantime? I am working on an enhanced Easton module (well, it's been put on hold due to the gnomesword stuff), and I want these features: 1. Cross-references. Any word mentioned (except for some short, trivial ones) should be linked to the appropriate entry. I am doing this wikipedia style where only the first mention is linked. 2. Greek/Hebrew references. There are lots of mentions of the original language words that I would like linked to the Greek/Hebrew dictionaries. 3. Scripture references. Of course, this is supposed to work with OSIS. So currently I can use thml and sword:// style links and this works in gnomesword. If I use Osis cross-references, it won't work anywhere. And I have no idea how long it will be until there exists a sword version that will work (1 year, 2 years?) I would like to mention as well that the documentation for creating dictionaries is quite lacking. I would be glad to contribute to this, but it would be nice to get this issue sorted out first. To summarize, I'm not against OSIS, but the support isn't there for what I'd like to do. The easy solution for me is to use thml and know that at least one front-end will support it, and wait to generate OSIS when that support is finished.
