At TExTonline.org we have set up a project for developing a modern
replacement for Strongs using WeSay, and therefore LIFT. I haven't
developed a script to transform the LIFT file into TEI, but that is on
the to-do list when I actually get to working on this seriously.
However, I have realized that WeSay does not yet offer a Mac build, thus
limiting the potential for collaboration. I wonder if a web interface to
edit LIFT or, perhaps even TEI, files would allow for more contributors.
A wiki format would be more familiar, but it is designed to tag for
format not in a way that represents the distinctive elements of
dictionaries, as do LIFT and TEI. I wonder if the SIL folks will ever
move in this direction...

i.e. If some agencies that we collaborate with [decide to] use LIFT to
develop lexicons, and it becomes attractive for us to support a Bible
translation as a SWORD module for the same language[s], then we should also
take note of LIFT.
So for us now at least, this is "back burner" stuff - yet mentioned here in
order to stimulate creative thinking ....
