In the printed text they show as a character after the verse number and
immediately before the first character of the verse.
I've thought about adding <div type="section"> or <p> to surround these, but
atm SWORD lib produces too much vertical whitespace.

Here is my thought in putting them in.
When fixing the tagging of the Strong's numbers to English phrases in the KJV,
I had to constantly refer to the TR to see the actual word. I found myself
doing a lot of counting to find the n-th Greek word (for src="n"). Also, the TR
module has variants in some verses. These represented choice between two Greek
texts as to what the src="n" referenced. Sometimes the variants were words in
one variant but no words in the other. Other times one variant had more words
than the other. And other times they were the same length, but just different
words. So, the src="n" was ambiguous in these verses. Adding the words from the
TR made it unambiguous.
They certainly belong in the OSIS master text and don't have to be in the
module. It is trivial to create a copy of the OSIS master file without them and
use that to make a module. There is other markup in the master that is not in
the module.
Troy has said he'd like for them to remain, but I think we need to ensure that
the SWORD lib handles them such that front-ends works well with them.
I'm going to follow Chris' advice and prefix them as lemma.TR:. Let's see what
that does. Can you point me to instructions on how to load a module into
PocketSword (again)? I'm too lazy to dig for it ;)
As to direction regarding their use: not sure. Ultimately I think it forms part
of an interlinear.
For Bible Desktop, I'm thinking of presenting it along with the Strong's
Number. I'm not sure if I'll present the word in place of the Strong's number
as the text for the Strong's number link, or have it as a clickable link along
side of the Strong's Number with the the same href or have it as plain text. Or
not show it at all (which is what I'm doing now.)
But they shouldn't be broken links.

Thanks. We'll sort this out before a release.
