[sword-devel] Interlinear text in HTML?

Wrt modules guaranteed to work in every frontend - this is already not
the case.

The Farsi modules do not work in BibleCS, which is odd as it can display
the Arabic one fine - but seems to be a problem somehow inherent in Windows.

WxSword does not work with any of the RtoL modules or complex script ones.

etc...

I think there might be a need to abandon the thought that _every_ module
will work in _every frontend - if the frontend in question has
limitations which are inherent to its platform, subsequent to not being
thought through enough to exploit all the machine's abilities or simply
designed as a simple one-language reader like LCDBible.
