"Finally, as there is a one-to-one correspondance between each Chinese
character and its Pinyin transliteration, this suggests the possibility that
the Pinyin lookup could be done entirely within the SWORD API, thus not
necessitating any inline OSIS markup within the module."

David, I don't think there is a one-to-one correspondance between each Chinese
character and its Pinyin transliteration. One Chinese character should be mapped 
to one pinyin.
But one pinyin may be mapped to many Chinese character. Which Chinese character 
is mapped to for a given Pinyin depends on the context of where the Chinese 
character is used.
In Him,
