What information would I lose? I'm new at this, so that's an honest
question. The only formatting I'm doing is paragraph markers.

What aggravates me about this, is that the official response has been
"Use OSIS references, don't use sword://, but OSIS references aren't
supported". Why are OSIS references being recommended when they aren't
supported? Are there any plans to add support? (I mean concrete plans,
not "it should be done") Why is the official recommendation to do
something that isn't supported (notice that at least sword:// is
supported somewhere) and there aren't plans to?
