If an existing v11n changes, all modules released by it will have to be
re-released with the update and all front-ends will have to be recompiled with
it. JSword will need to change too and front-ends based upon it, also.
The reason is simple the index file for a testament is an indexed array with
each verse in the v11n having a predetermined index.
If no modules have been released with it, it is a fairly safe change. The risk
are older front-ends with the wrong tables.
Issuing a v2 (simply another v11n with a new name) and deprecating the older
probably is a safer change.
