Only a partial answer.

First off, i'm most interested as to why Thayers is no longer
available, which i didn't realize (i downloaded mine a while ago). Was
it determined that it's not actually in the public domain? If that's
so, then i can't re-use it either for sharing purposes. But it is
available through e-Sword: so i'm a bit puzzled. Can anyone enlighten
me to the freedom of this module?
Most of my other comments were noting problems with the original, in
the hopes of providing helpful feedback to maintainers (moot i suppose
if it's no longer available, though i'd be happy to fix the version i
have and re-submit it).
The one point about character encodings: it's not that the Greek
output _looks_ like ????, they are literally all 0X3f characters
(Emacs doesn't lie). So something is mangling the Greek (which on
closer inspection does appear to be originally UTF-8) by the time it's
output .It displays correctly inside the Windows Sword Project
interface. You said "If the encoding is UTF-8, then the conf needs
to state that."
By this, do you mean one of the .conf files that are part of Sword for
Windows itself? I don't see anything in userprefs.conf, layout.conf,
or options.conf that seems relevant, and there weren't any .conf files
with the API examples.
The confs are found in a directory named mods.d which generally is in a
directory also containing a directory modules. The modules directory
contains the content of the modules.
The same technique that I stated for strongs can be used for other
dictionaries. See a working example of how to dump the module as osis xml.
http://www.crosswire.org/svn/jsword/trunk/jsword/src/main/java/org/crosswire/jsword/examples/DictToOsis.java
Since the module contains ThML that is not well formed and has bare &,
these would need to be fixed first.
Thanks again for your help,
Sean
