Apologies for  not seeing this sooner; some email from crosswire.org 
lists does not reach me for unknown reason, it seems my mail host 
(zoho.com) considers it a bad source, but not for everyone, just some 
individual sources in the lists. I really don't understand. But this was 
from last month, which I found from the list archive.

The problem I have is that the entire structure of Xiphos, since its 
very earliest days 25 years ago, was based on single-chapter display. I 
honestly have no idea how I would enhance that without destroying 
several of its semantic implications (follow what it would mean in 
synchronized external parallel) and without having to replace literally 
all the display guts.

I know this isn't the devel list, but my usual response on this sort of 
thing is, "Somebody write some code, we'll review the result together, 
then we'll include whatever we can mutually agree on." And that's 
because I don't know how this would be done in Xiphos.
