Assuming that GnomeSword uses the stock HTMLHREF filters and assuming 
that they want to use the private protocol URIs for linking, then yes 
this would need to be added into the OSISHTMLHREF and TEIHTMLHREF.

If it uses its own filters, those would need to be changed. If a 
different method of linking is used, then something else will need to be 
implemented. Etc.
