One of the things that we’ve tossed about for a while is keeping the conf of 
the module pristine and storing the cipher key in another file. That other file 
would hold all the frontend edits for the confs. It would have the form:
[NASB]
CipherKey=asdf
[KJV]
Font=yadayadayada
…

I was going to roll my own in JSword, but Troy said that this mechanism already 
exists in SWORD. It would be nice to standardize the location and naming of 
such.
