That certainly works for me.  At the moment, we're not targeting 
user-created documents because of the difficulty in creating valid OSIS 
documents.  I think that's outside the scope of Sword-proper.  If Simon 
or others want to work on OSIS IDEs that will generate valid/best 
practice-conformant OSIS, our toolchain for importing these documents 
will be pretty user-friendly.  Once it becomes an issue, it won't be 
very difficult to embed an OSIS to Sword module converter into 
InstallMgr or such.

Don, I know how much work you've done for Sword in the past and how much 
you are doing right now, so I realize your motives are good and never 
thought of taking offense or considering your statements ingracious or 
personal attacks.  And I certainly didn't mean to cause any personal 
offense on my part.  Except towards Troy, maybe, because he's a 
communist pushing his Marxist/Stallmanist GNU/Linux ideology on the rest 
of us.
