Maybe you didn't delve deep enough into the detail of the Distant Shores
Media blog post?

The *USFMtag* extension to Wikimedia server is /not/ to facilitate further
editing.

It's to allow USFM content to be pasted "as is" into a wiki page.
Once saved, the server extension will display the content as /properly
formated/ Scripture content.

This provides a rapid way to "publish" a USFM Bible (or Bible portion) such
that even a mobile user (without edit privileges) can view the wiki page for
that passage with the minimum of preprocessing having been required by the
translation team.

Once you grasp the concept, it makes a lot of sense.  In fact, it's a
brilliant concept. 

Hat's off to Tim Jore and his colleagues for the lateral thinking that led
to this breakthrough.

David
